Despite the wide-ranging physical, mental and social benefits of physical activity and its indisputable links to health and wellness, Reebok reveals just how much physical exercise humans do over a lifetime.<\/p>\n
The fitness and sports apparel brand says that the average human will actually spend less than one percent of their entire life exercising.<\/p>\n
The findings are part of a launch of a new Reebok brand campaign –\u00a0\u201825,915 Days\u2019 – that correlates to the average number of days in a lifetime.<\/p>\n
The study, conducted in partnership with global consultancy Censuswide evaluated nine countries around the world and disclosed that the average human would spend just 0.69% of their life exercising \u2013 or otherwise defined as 180 of their 25,915 days.<\/p>\n
To put a human\u2019s fitness commitment into perspective, Reebok also looked at the time we spend on technology devices (mobile, tablet, laptop and other electronic devices) and found the following: 41% of an average human life is spent engaging with technology \u2013 or 10,625 out of their 25,915 days.<\/p>\n
On average, a person will climb Mount Everest nearly 45 times during their 25,915 days on earth and run the circumference of the earth almost twice (1.9 times).<\/p>\n
The study incorporated more than 9,000 respondents from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Mexico, Russia, Korea and Spain, with some interesting trends and results at a local level:<\/p>\n
