By Katy Winter The rise of health-conscious female role models such as Miranda Kerr, 31, Kelly Brook, 34, and Kim Kardashian, 33, has sparked a huge increase in the numbers of women working out multiple times per week. A survey of over 2,000 gym-goers people has shown a 62 per cent increase in the number of women working out over the last 12 months. While still an activity dominated by men, the proportion of women amongst this group of gym-goers rose significantly, from 9 per cent to 14.6 per cent.
