But despite their reluctance to get hot and sweaty anywhere outside the bedroom, 87 per cent said they were unhappy with their physique and 74 per cent said they would like to improve their fitness.

Sweatband.com''s research into the nation''s fitness habits found that three fifths of Brits don''t exercise at all.
