LAZY BRITS

A new report says that British people are exercising less than in the past. It says that the problem is now worse for people's health than smoking. One in every six deaths in Britain is the result of people not getting enough exercise. In addition, treating people who become ill because of a lack of exercise costs the health service £17.6 billion every year.

So how much exercise should people get? Experts say that two and a half hours a week is the minimum. It doesn't sound much and even this doesn't have to be in a gym or organised sports. Walking is just as good exercise. Only about 37 per cent of British people get this much exercise every week. This is less than in any other European country. In France, 66 per cent of people get at least two and a half hours of exercise a week. In Holland, the percentage of people doing this amount of exercise is 82 per cent.

So why is the problem so bad in Britain? One reason is that people spend their free time at home. They don't play sports, they look at computer and television screens. Fewer people do physical work. They sit at desks with a computer in front of them. Even younger people are getting less exercise. In the past, children often walked or cycled to school. They played outside. Now their parents drive them to school and they can't go out

on their own. There are a number of ways that people could get more exercise. They could cycle to work or the shops. They could spend more time doing the gardening. They could spend their weekends in the park.

The present older generation in Britain live longer than any generation in the past. What about the next generation? They may not live as long.
