Question: how many people do you meet that don't exercise? do you meet any that exercise too much?

I meet a mix of people, and some people I meet in hospitals are very sick and unable to exercise. I rarely meet someone that exercises too much. But I have noticed in the last 5 years particularly, there is an increased awareness of the benefits of physical activity. We have gone from a nation that was very physically active through our jobs (most people 50 years ago were employed in manual labor jobs) to very sedentary because of a change of job type. But more recently, we are learning to get the balance more correct and young people have become aware or and are responding to the positive benefits of physical activity.
