A lack of exercise may be endangering the health of many of the country's workers, new research has suggested.

Women looking to don their ladies fitness wear and improve their activity levels may be interested to note that the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) believes that as many as one quarter of the UK's employees do not take any breaks when they are at work.

Obesity is just one of the many health issues that the organisation feels people might have to deal with if they adopt bad working practices.

The CSP's chief executive, Phil Gray, emphasised the dangers of overwork.

He commented: "Physiotherapists are concerned that overworking and not taking breaks is actually costing employers and their staff."

Meanwhile, when it comes to the nation's health, Dr Dawn Harper recently suggested that type 2 diabetes is something that is becoming a greater threat in the UK.
