Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy that they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2 ，000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuff?ield Health,Britain's largest health charity. The results were astonishing.
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken,they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly,of the 654 respondents with children,64% said they were of?ten too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK is classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said,"People need to get fitter,not just for their own sake,but for the sake of their families,friends and evidently their pets too."
"If we don't start to take control of this problem,a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks.”
And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow?was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK，with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise* fol?lowed closely by Birmingham and Southampton,both with 67%.
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service,where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact,it seems that a little more courtesy could save businesses $ 5 billion every year.
Frequently hearing the phrase " thank you" or " well done" means the same to staff as a modest pay rise,researchers say. Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs,saving on the cost of finding replacements.
A third of 1 ， 000 workers surveyed by the famous firm White Water
Strategies said they did not get thanked at all when they did well―and a fur- ther third said they were not thanked enough,meaning they were less likely to put themselves into work and were more likely to look for employment else?where.
The final result is around $ 5. 2 billion in lost productivity from employ?ees who would raise their interests in work if they felt more appreciated,White Water claimed. According to the company,praising staff has the same motivational kick as a 1 per cent pay rise―and works out much cheaper for bosses.
Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement (认可) by their bosses was important to them,but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed. The survey found that those blue-collar and manuaK体力的) workers were less likely to be given any rec?ognition for doing well.
In regional terms,Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However,workers in the north-east are less impressed by being praised by the boss,as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told "well done" regularly. Older employees and women need the most praise,according to psychologist Averill Lemmon.
