Only 20% of people in the UK get enough exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle and satisfactory fitness level.
There are approximately 24 million overweight, or obese, people in the UK today.
Being obese is second only to smoking as a cause of cancer.
In the UK, obesity is responsible for over 9,000 premature deaths a year.
Being physically active can significantly lower the risks of developing serious health-related problems, such as heart disease, stroke and type-2 diabetes.
A pound of body fat stores 3500 calories.
Women who are obese are more likely to have complications both during and after pregnancy.
Heart disease is still the leading cause of death in the UK. It is responsible for one in five of all deaths.
Exercising regularly can reduce the risk of many types of cancer.
