How often do you work out? A new study has concluded that women don't exercise as much as men, and the inadequate amount of exercise women are getting per day may be contributing to conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, and heart conditions.
The Preventative Medicine study tracked movements of over 1,000 men and women for at least four days and found that on average while men exercised at least 30 minutes a day at a moderate to vigorous intensity (which means your heartbeat is raised and breathing is difficult), women only clocked in at 18 minutes a day at the same intensity. However, the women had generally healthier habits overall.
While the researchers aren't exactly sure why women exercise less than men, they think that learned habits from childhood and raising kids has something to do with it.
