Reading in a magazine today (WomensHealth) about what drives people to exercise. It’s an interesting topic, because it’s different for everybody. In this particular case study around 1000 people were quizzed and the results were quite diverse.
- 88% of women exercised to lose weight compared to 71% of men.
- 65% exercised because they were gym junkies addicted to fitness.
- 36% exercised to attract a partner. I must admit when I was younger I fell into this category…nothing like feeling good and looking good in a pair of jeans and tight t-shirt at the bar on a Friday night.
- 4% went to the gym to find a date compared to 17% who went to the gym to make new friends.
