Survey takers self-reported how intense their workouts by classifying themselves in one of four categories: vigorous, moderate, light and non-exercisers.
Many people blame lack of time, but what separates avid exercisers from non-exercisers is the planning and commitment needed towards making exercise a valued part of their day.
Thirty-five age-matched study participants were assigned into one of three groups; people with type two diabetes, non-exercisers, and regular exercisers without diabetes.
In a study of 1,000 adults, ages 23 to 60, participants were categorized as either exercisers (with sub-groups for vigorous, moderate and light) or non-exercisers, based on self-reported activity levels.
