Poll: Summer's here ... will you be getting more exercise?

We’re heading for an obesity crisis in this country, unless we significantly alter out lifestyles. Good a time as any?

THERE’S AN ALARMING new report from the World Health Organisation out this morning – suggesting nearly ALL Irish adults will be overweight by 2030.

If current trends continue, nine out of ten Irish men will be overweight in 15 years’ time – and 85 per cent of women.

With the arrival of the (slightly) warmer weather, it got us wondering – will you be investing in a new pair of runners, and heading out to get more exercise in the coming months?

Poll Results:

I get lots of exercise, year round. (2644)

Absolutely - see you in the park. (2396)

Maybe. Ask me again after lunch. (794)

No. (459)
