Lazy Brits: Half of us do not do any exercise, research reveals

BRITAIN has become a nation of couch potatoes with 44% of adults doing no exercise at all

Five million of those spend more than eight hours a day sitting down. And one in 10 never walks for more than 10 minutes at a time.

We now tie with Ireland as the 16th laziest country in Europe. Italians only spend half as long sitting down, while just 14% of adults in top-rated Holland do no exercise.

The British Heart Foundation said the figures were alarming.
