The charts below show the results of a survey of the primary exercise objectives and locations of a selected group of adults between 20 and 50 years of age. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The chart gives information about the main reasons for exercise for a group of adults from 20 to 50 years old, and the pie chart shows the locations where they exercised. In general, more of the people in the survey exercised for recreation than for other purposes, and gymnasiums were the most preferred setting.
Forty per cent of the selected group regarded exercise mainly as a form of recreation, while a quarter of them worked out primarily to tone their muscles. Almost fifteen per cent exercised mainly to avoid illness, while around 10% of the survey participants wanted to lose weight. A further 10% did physical exercise primarily to enhance their mood.
More than a third of the people surveyed used a gymnasium, while the rest of the group frequented public places, with twenty per cent using parks for keeping fit, while playgrounds, public sports grounds and other public places were favoured by the remaining 45%, equally distributed at 15% each.
