The Activity Guidelines report that people who engage in cardio exercise, such as brisk walking, have lower rates of heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure than those who donât exercise in this way.

The average duration of marriage is about 12 years in Australia, yet the Australian Institute of Family Studies reports that people are separating quicker. In 2011, they reported that the time that âcouples go from being married to being separated now stands at 8.7 years, up from 7.5 in 1980.â
The latest findings show that the average couple spends about $35,329 on their wedding day â which is almost $3,000 more than last year. We are legit horrified, though not surprised. Interestingly, while the average cost of a wedding went way up, the average number of guests dropped to 141 (compared to 149 in 2009). This means couples were more focused on creating special experiences for their guests.
