I just know that I feel better when I incorporate physical exercise into my day. Sometimes I do that throughout the day, weaving activity into an otherwise sedentary lifestyle. Other days, I take a block of time for dedicated exercise. i think better, I sleep better, I feel better.

I don’t know what UK sporting events are like. But, if it’s anything like the US, it’s just another excuse for drinking beer and eating nachos while cheering your country on. In fact, if you are a die hard olympics fan, you will likely be at the couch for two weeks, or if you are ambitious enough you will actually go to a few events if you live in the London area. Now, one thing that happens in the US, from my own experience is how a winning sports team can transform the popularity of a sport. I live in Pittsburgh, PA and our hockey team the Penguins one the Stanlye Cup a couple years in a row in the early 90s and the number of kids playing hockey in the area exploded.

A recent national survey by Inside Out showed that only one in five people say olympic would make them more exercise.

If I happened to be one of the respondent, I would also probably fall into the majority category!

Olympic games, nowadays has became so much commerciallized. the one who most likely benefited most would be the organiser, sponsors, advertisers, TV station owners, google etc etc.

If the government want to inculcate the habit of exercise to the public, it should have been done long time ago with mass campaign (tv, internet, schools, universities etc) and
provide more sport facilities especially in rural areas. I dont know in UK but in my country, Malaysia, government support is not that on par with the economic progress of the nation

-just my 2 cents-

This news certainly is a study in the bleeding obvious isn’t it?

The answer to lack of exercise is re-designed communities I think - people living within walking distance of friends, work and services and decent public transport. A little re-zoning and urban planning would have a major health impact I think.
