In Britain alone, it has been reported that bungling fitness fiends have contributed to a $A41.5 million living room repair bill.
Flower pots, television sets and even pets have been sent flying by the high kicks and hula hoop motions of increasingly vigorous home exercise routines, Britain’s Telegraph newspaper reports.
Almost 20 per cent of women polled admitted having accidents after getting carried away in the living room with fitness routines such as those on the Nintendo Wii Fit.
Many of the 1000 women polled for women-only insurer Sheila’s Wheels admitted they had caused an average of $13.60 worth of damage to their homes in the last year with over-enthusiastic work-outs. That figure equates to a national yearly bill of $41.5 million – based on the Government’s estimate of the UK’s female population.
