Office workers sought for TV fitness programme

Concerned about your lack of fitness?  Want to do something about it?

ITV is making a programme and looking for volunteers to take part.  Read more below.

ITV is making a programme about the state of the population’s fitness levels, entitled “The Truth about Exercise”, explaining that physical inactivity or lack of fitness costs the UK £20 billion a year.  One of the biggest risk groups is office workers because they spend so much time sitting down.

Leeds-based Professor of Exercise Paul Gately will test fitness levels in a lab and conduct a month-long exercise plan before re-testing in January.  Time-wise, it would mean spending an afternoon with ITV week commencing 12 December, then another afternoon in January to re-test you. An occasional video diary comment is also requested.

It’s an opportunity for someone who is unfit to adopt a new fitter lifestyle for the New Year, with expert advice.
