Poll: How many minutes a day do you walk?

Give it to us straight. Be honest.

THERE HAVE BEEN many public health campaigns aimed at getting us moving to stave off future health problems. Remember this?

The UK has rolled out a big one around brisk walking called #Active10, and with it the scary statistic that 41% of English adults aged between 40 and 60 walk LESS than 10 minutes continuously at a brisk pace per month.

How many minutes a day do you walk briskly, would you reckon – on average?

(The brisk bit is important for it to count towards improving fitness and stamina.)


Poll Results:

Between 30 mins and an hour (3260)
Over an hour walking (2152)
Between 10 and 30 minutes (1855)
I exercise each day but in a different way (1184)
Under 10 minutes (661)
Not at all (550)
