How Likely are Obese to Exercise?








Obese Are 28% Less Likely than Americans Who Are Normal Weight to Exercise Frequently

Obese Americans are about 28% less likely than Americans who are normal weight to say they exercise for at least 30 minutes three or more days per week. Approximately four in 10 obese Americans exercise that frequently, compared with nearly six in 10 adults who are normal weight.

Those who are overweight are also less likely than those who are normal weight to exercise frequently, but they do so at a level about on par with the national average. Gallup says the explanation for these relationships, however, is not clear. Analysis suggests possibilities including that overweight and obese people might have arrived at that state because they didn’t exercise in the past, or they might have difficulty exercising because they are overweight and obese.
