"More Americans exercising, but still not enough, study says"

[cw42]

Regular exercise is defined as:
- 30min/day moderate-intensity, 5 days/week
- 20min/day vigorous-intensity, 3 days/week

http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH...al.activity/index.html

The study found that racial and ethnic differences persist. Among men, non-Latino whites reported exercising the most (52.3 percent), followed by "other race" (45.7 percent), non-Latino blacks (45.3 percent) and Latinos (41.9 percent).

Among women, non-Latina whites were most active (49.6 percent), followed by "other race" women (46.6 percent), Latinas (40.5 percent), and non-Latina blacks (36.1 percent).

People with more education were more likely to say they got regular exercise. Among people who said they had graduated from college, the figures were 54.6 percent for men and 53.3 percent for women, versus slightly more than a third of men and women (37.2 percent and 37.1 percent, respectively) who said they had not graduated high school.

This study suggests that people that have not graduated from HS are not only getting enough exercise, but they're also fat, lazy, and stupid.

People who have not graduated also have badder grammar.

I wish fewer people would exercise. The last several times I went to the gym, there were no ellipticals available.

Latino isn't a racial classification exactly.
