Time biggest obstacle for Aussie exercise

HOW AUSTRALIANS ARE EXERCISING

* 59 per cent of Australians over 15 exercise three or more times a week

* Outside of school hours only 19 per cent of children aged up to 14 are active more than three times a week

* Biggest barrier for exercising is time constraints for those between 15 and 54

* $10.7 billion was spent on exercise in 2015 and adults spend most of that on gyms, while the children's share is spent on sports clubs
