Not enough women are donning their ladies fitness wear, it has been suggested, as recent research from the British Heart Foundation shows two thirds of adults are not getting their recommended 30 minutes exercise a day.

Some 40 per cent of these people stated they were just too busy to exercise.

However, Elin Tough, features editor at Zest magazine, said that everyone can work small amounts of exercise into their daily routines and many of us may be already doing so without even realising.

She said that people this that exercise means they have to get into gym wear and "jog around the park or slog it out at the gym".

Ms Tough explained that simple steps can be taken to bump up the amount of exercise that people take part in.

"Get off the bus a stop earlier, buy your lunch from the cafe furthest from your work, ditch the lift and climb the stairs to your office," she advised.
