BARNSLEY is one of the worst places in the country for people not exercising.
UK Active surveyed 150 authorities and Barnsley trailed near the bottom of the table, coming in nationally at number 133 with 35 per cent of its residents being inactive.
Barnsley is second to bottom of the authorities in Yorkshire and Humber.
Darren Padgett, director of Team Activ+, said: "This is a sitting time bomb as inactivity is responsible for one in six deaths in the UK and a major factor in heart disease, type two diabetes, hypertension and dementia."
