According to a Poll instigated by the Department of Health, married people were far less willing to exercise than single people living on their own.
With the guideline in mind of 150 minutes exercise recommended each week, only 27% met the standard, and that involved women more than men. Of all those questioned and falling short, it was noiceable that the majority were married.
Perhaps the most daunting statistic was the discovery that married couples were twice as likely to be obese than their single counterparts.
I again would say, it is just as easy to pattern ones week to include physical activity as it is to exclude it, but no-one can force us on what choice we make. Resolving to exercise as a couple can be our choice and clearly has benefits.
