Almost half of British women do no vigorous exercise, survey finds

Nuffield Health data for past year suggests many lack motivation or got out of the habit during lockdown

Almost half of women in the UK have done no vigorous exercise in the past 12 months with most saying they lacked motivation, a survey has suggested.

The percentages are lower for men, with just over a third saying they had not exercised in that period and half citing a lack of motivation, according to data from the healthcare charity Nuffield Health.
