6 Minute English From BBCLearningEnglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.
I'm Catherine.
And I'm Dan.
No, Dan! Would you say you had a sedentary lifestyle at all?
If I only went to work, yes, I would have a pretty sedentary life.
I sit on the tube, I sit at my desk, or in the studio for most of the day,
but because I know that's not good for my health,
I do also like to go to the gym a couple of times a week,
and I'll do some exercise like a bike ride or playing football at the weekend.
So my job is pretty sedentary, but not my life.
Nice answer, Dan.
And our topic today is about how one country in particular has been very successful in dealing with the problem of a sedentary population.
But before we find out more, here's today's question.
According to a recent survey,
how long does an average person in the UK spend sitting down every day?
Is it A between six and seven hours?
B between seven and eight hours, or C between eight and nine hours?
So Dan, what do you think?
