Ultimate Performance Liverpool helps personal training clients to build healthy habits into their lifestyle around diet, training, and daily exercise. You can see the importance of this in the health data too – around 38% of London residents exercise regular, which is in stark contrast to just 24% in Liverpool getting enough exercise, according to Sport England stats. Areas of the city where rates of exercise and activity are higher, include Mossley Hill and Allerton – and this is reflected in much lower rates of obesity around 58%. Life expectancy for Liverpudlians is not too far removed from the national average, with men and women expected to reach the ages of 77 and 81, on average. What is more concerning is ‘health span’ – the proportion of years lived in good health – is lower with only 72% for men and 74% for women. The divide in health span across the city is glaring. Men in Woolton and Childwall can expect to live 79% of their years in good health, while men in Kirkdale only live 65% of their lives in good health. For women in the city, the story is the same. Female residents in Mossley Hill can expect to live 68% of their lives in robust health, whereas that figure is only 67% in Anfield. Outside the city, but within the broader Merseyside region, it’s a different picture. Several towns and areas stand out for their healthier lifestyles, notably Formby, Heswall, and West Kirby.
