It’s not as if most Americans never exercise. They just don’t do it as often as they should, to judge by a new Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index report based on polling conducted throughout 2009.

For the year as a whole, an average of 68 percent of respondents said they exercise for 30 minutes or more on at least one day per week. The number saying they exercise for at least 30 minutes on three or more days per week was considerably lower, though, at 50 percent.
