Which Country is Most Physically Active?

                    

Have you seen the news?

One in four of the global population does not get enough physical activity.

I know it’s hard to believe.

With just 22 minutes per day you can help keep preventable disease away.

A study by Dr R Guthold et al (2018) has just been published in the Lancet Global Health Journal.

Nearly 2 Billion people were involved in the study which included data from 168 different countries.

But what we really want to know is who is the fittest Country?

Well, the answer might surprise you:

Uganda is the fittest country and Kuwait is the least fittest.

The UK comes in at 35.9%.

So what does that mean?

It means that 20 MILLION Brits are suffering from "Sitting Disease" that will lead to other diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity, Coronary Heart Disease and high blood pressure.

All of these diseases are preventable by doing 3 things:

• Break up long periods of sitting with light activity.

• At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity every week.

• Strength exercises on two or more days a week that work all the major muscles.
