20 per cent of adults never exercise for 30 minutes or more during a typical week.

Only 21 per cent exercise five times a week or more.

London is the gym-going capital of the UK, with 17 per cent going once a week or more compared with 13 per cent of adults overall..

37 per cent of adults who exercise say regular exercise encourages them to eat more healthily.

Most common activity is walking at a fast pace followed by attending the gym, running, swimming and cycling.

40 per cent of adults say lack of time is a barrier to doing more exercise.

17 per cent say exercise is too expensive and 12 per cent say not being confident or being too embarrassed is one of their barriers.
