More than a quarter (27%) of British adults say that, on average, they do more than 2.5 hours a week of moderate physical activity.
In an average day, three in five (59%) British adults say they spend up to 30 minutes sitting on the toilet, while 13% say the same of sitting during their commute.
The British public are most likely to say that there no barriers to them spending more time being physically active (30%), or say they are too busy with work (20%). Overall, seven in ten (70%) say there are some barriers to them being able to spend more time being physically active.
When asked what the minimum amount of time that the NHS recommends 19-64 year olds should spend being physically active, just over one in ten (12%) answer correctly with 2.5 hours.
