Exercise a habit with 28% people

About 340 million people exercised regularly last year, with 250 million of them spending an average of 593 yuan ($88) on sport or sport-related activities.

A State General Administration of Sport survey released yesterday said a record 28.2 percent of the population spent more than 30 minutes on physical training at least three times a week.

The national survey shows health awareness among urban residents is much higher than rural people.
