Health chiefs are urging people to make sure they exercise after it was revealed only 20% of Bucks adults do enough to stay fit and healthy.

According to the county council?s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment, 27% of people are completely inactive, doing less than 30 minutes of exercise a week.

The result of this is a ?6.3 million annual strain on the county?s healthcare services, with a range of conditions including heart disease, hip fractures and some cancers linked to inactivity.
