Content provided by EMS WORLD. Exercise is important to a healthy lifestyle. And according to the American Heart Association, 65% of adults aren't getting nearly enough since that's the percentage of us who are classified as obese or overweight. In general, people are simply less active because of technology and better mass transportation. Physically active jobs now make up only about 25% of the workforce, 50% less than in 1950.
