With school and extracurricular activities in full swing, a new poll finds fitness will likely be a low priority for Canadian parents.
The Ipsos Reid survey for RBC shows 41 per cent spend an hour or less a week exercising.
That’s compared to 46 per cent who say they spend more time driving their kids to extra-curricular activities and 49 per cent, who spend more time doing homework with their kids.
The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends adults get at least 2.5 hours a week of exercise.
