Just 4 In 10 Britons Would Exercise For Their Life

A study has revealed that just 4 in 10 Britons would be motivated to do more exercise if their life depended on it.

The British Heart Foundation published the results of the survey in conjunction with a new TV advert encouraging people to take more exercise.

The figures show that one person dies every 15 minutes as a result of physical inactivity now that’s a lot of people.

All that needs to be done to prevent that happening is by increasing their heart rate for just 30 minutes a day and this is said to help cut the risk of heart disease in half.

This is 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity five times a week, although the charity believes people should stay active every day.

The survey was based on 2,000 adults and only 38% of people would be motivated do more exercise if their life depended on it.
