Why People Aren’t Exercising | Leicester News

2026/07/31

New research reveals why so many people aren’t hitting the gym—not because they don’t want to, but because cost, access, and motivation are real barriers. Most only exercise 45 minutes at a time, far below the government’s 2.5-hour weekly recommendation. Fear of injury, lack of safe spaces, and even the unavailability of sports like cricket keep people sidelined. A company pushing for equity in sports says simple fixes—free sessions, borrowed gear, flexible hours—could unlock widespread

2026/07/31

The UK’s XL Bully ban is still alive — and tens of thousands of owners are legally keeping their muscular, block-headed dogs thanks to exemption certificates. But it’s not a free pass: dogs must stay at the same address, be muzzled and leashed in public, be microchipped, and be kept in secure enclosures. Owners must report any moves, deaths, or overseas travel — and police can demand proof of exemption within five days. Break the rules? Your dog could be seized, and you could face criminal

If you’re planning a summer trip to Europe, your passport could be your biggest travel hurdle. Over a million UK passports may not meet Schengen entry rules—your passport must be issued within the last 10 years and valid for at least three months after your return. A loophole from before 2018 left hundreds of thousands with technically valid but non-compliant passports. Plus, 2.37 million more are set to expire by 2026.

Forget all-or-nothing when it’s hot out—fitness pros say dialing back intensity is smarter than quitting cold turkey. Swap high-impact runs for Pilates, mobility work, or strength training in cooler spots. Your body’s already working hard to stay cool, so don’t push for personal bests. Short, controlled sessions build strength and flexibility without overheating. Work early or late, hydrate smart, and listen to your body—if you’re dizzy or drained, ease up.

Britain’s “most bashed” bridge in Leicestershire is stuck in limbo—26 truck collisions since last March, and no end in sight. A planned 51cm road lowering to clear tall vehicles, backed by developer Mountpark, is delayed as Network Rail hasn’t approved the design. Local officials call the fix a “myth,” while Mountpark pushes ahead with other $10M upgrades.
