GardenCentreOnline.co.uk Announce Research Into Health And Fitness Problems
GardenCentreOnline.co.uk, a UK based online retailer of gardening goods, today announced research undertaken into health and fitness problems and how to exercise in fun ways.
Online, September 21, 2012 (Newswire.com) - In this modern world people can sit and watch TV for hours on end and still be entertained. Studies show that on average a child aged 6-11 is likely to spend 28 hours a week watching TV. There is a growing problem within the UK as obesity rates rise and this is linked to the ability to watch films or TV programs 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
As well as this the amount of exercise a child does is rapidly decreasing as children opt for games consoles instead of footballs. In 2006 less than 33% of 15 year olds got the minimum required amount of exercise per week (30 minutes a day 5 days a week). This left 30% of children aged 2-15 classed as obese and 26% of people aged over 16 classed as obese. This has risen from 16% for children since 1995.
To solve this not a lot needs to be done. People need to stop choosing to eat at a fast food restaurant and choose to eat healthier home cooked food. As well as this making sure 5 fruit and vegetables are consumed per day would help significantly. In addition to eating healthy exercising regularly is just as important. It is well known that people do not like challenging sports so why not try something everyone can do.
Something as simple as a trampoline would make exercise fun. Trampolines do not require anyone to have some special talent all they require from someone is to bounce. As well as being good for families' health they are likely to enjoy it as well. Trampolines are available at most home stores and are available at a reasonable price. So what can be better than having fun and getting fit at the same time?
Companies like GardenCentrOnline.co.uk have trampolines for sales from prices as low as £99. They also offer the opportunity to have a lot of fun with children through other outdoors games that everyone can use in their gardens.
