Executive Summary

Exercise is important for all women of all ages and it should be an integral part of your life. A number of women were surveyed or received a Fitness Challenge Programme for 2009 on their exercise regime. I wanted to find out what exercise women were involved in and what motivated them to exercise. This project endeavoured to ascertain if women in the rural setting get fit and maintain a fitness level without having to pay exorbitant amounts to attend gyms, this includes travel and time costs to get there? Results from the surveys were surprising positive. However there were limitations to the survey.
