How often does the average person exercise?

Question

I work out about 3 times a week. But I know most people don't work out at all. But I was wondering, on average, how often people exercise? Something tells me the percentage is really small. And I mean, not just the gym rats. People who don't exercise regularly. Does anyone know?

less than 15% of the total US population gets regular exercise, it is easy to see why over 60% of adults are obese in the US with the majority of overweight 10-13 year olds growing up to be overweight adults

Without taking a poll (which I guess you are doing albeit unscientifically), you won't get a solid answer.  I can tell you that it is recommended you exercise for 45-90 minutes each day that you choose to exercise.  Any more than that you are just spinning your wheels.  Less than that can be okay, depending on what you are doing.  30 minutes of high intensity exercise can be beneficial, but it's easier to get burned out.   Three days a week is probably the minimum I would recommend, and six as a maximum.  Anywhere in between you are probably doing very well on average.

in our town about 5% go to our gym, well something  like that. I've just started and I go 3 times a week. Not many people exercise, I don't think they realise how important it is.
