Keeping fit
There are 2000 sports centers in Britain: one for every town, large or small. They were built mostly in the 1980s to encourage the public to take part in sport. The number of people who take part in sport has risen, but not many people exercise more than once a month.
The majority of people live in towns and cities where space for team sport is limited. To keep fit most people take part in individual sports. They usually go walking, swimming, cycling or do aerobics. Taking part in all these sports is informal and casual. Most people just want to relax. If they do aerobics or go swimming they usually go to the sports centre, but not many people join a sports club.
Although many British people are interested in staying healthy, not many people do very much about it. A recent survey proved that many people were not as active as they thought and incorrectly believed that they did enough exercise to stay healthy. Only 10 per cent of adults take part in sport more then twice a week.
Aerobics
In the morning, many people follow fitness classes shown on TV.
Fishing
One of the most popular individual sports for men in Britain is fishing, also called angling. The most expensive type of fishing is for salmon and trout: these fish are only found in private rivers and lakes. Nearly 4 million anglers in Britain wait hours beside canals, lakes to catch a fish. Then they weigh it and usually throw it back into the water again.
