News: "Quarter of adults walk just an hour a week"

A poll for the walking charity the Ramblers suggests 25% of adults walk for no more than one hour each week. The survey asked people about the total amount of walking they did, including trips to school, work or the shops, and the results were that. Despite the low levels of walking reported, nearly all of those surveyed - 93% - agreed walking was a good form of exercise.




Opinion

Oh, seriously. What did the authorities expect if they provide people with so many entertainment that doesn't need any exercise? Although there are a lot of projects that claim for a change, it won't be easy to achieve that goal, providing that people enjoy to stay at home because it's usually cheaper (I saw a lot of people that buy something when they go walking) and can be more amusing. It doesn't affect me because I'm not an adult and I usually walk once per day, and I'm not likely to stay at home continously.
