Melbourne: Britons’ lazy lifestyle is destroying their sex lives. According to a new survey, three-quarters of couples in the UK have trouble mustering enough energy at the end of the day for a night of passion with their partner.The Courier Mail reported, a third of Britons are so lazy that they wouldn`t run to catch a bus, the study found.
And almost two out of three are so unfit they won`t countenance walking up two flights of stairs and will opt to take the lift instead, the poll carried out on behalf of private healthcare chain Nuffield Health found.
Once at home, one in six say that if the remote control was broken, they would prefer to watch a TV programme they didn`t like rather than get up to change the channel, according to the study of more than 2000 adults.
"Ready meals, remote controls and even internet shoppingare all contributing to a dangerously lazy and idle Britain," said Dr Sarah Dauncey, its medical director.
"The nation has fallen into a vicious circle of laziness that we must put a stop to," she said.
And she warned: "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."
