Fit Brits motivated by the pandemic kept exercise resolutions going all year

mirror.co.uk:

Brits went on a fitness drive in 2020 with millions maintaining their regime for the entire year - driven by a desire to stay fit during a global pandemic.

The ‘New Year New Me’ trend is traditionally difficult to keep up during the wet and miserable months with many quitting after a short period.

But a survey of 2,000 UK adults revealed that of the four in 10 who started an exercise regime at the beginning of the year, more than half (56 per cent) have kept it up.

Men (61 per cent) were more likely to carry on with their regime than women (50 per cent). However, of those who didn’t manage to maintain their exercise drive, the average person quit after 14 weeks.
