Halifax home insurance warns of exercise dangers

Around £125 million of damage has been caused as a result of exercising at home by so-called wrecksercisers, claims new research from Halifax home insurance.

The study discovered that around 250,000 Brits cause some form of damage to their property or possessions while exercising in the comfort of their own home.

In a bid to work off the Christmas excess, it is expected that home insurance claims could rise in the New Year, as more people attempt to exercise to the growing trend of celebrity workout dvds now available.

Halifax home insurance estimated that the average Brit who incurred an injury while exercising in the home has caused £135 of damage to their property or possessions over the past five years and over a third of a million people have had to take time off work to help recover from their subsequent injuries.

Vicky Emmott at Halifax home insurance said: "It is important that people are careful when exercising to ensure they don't endanger themselves or their possessions. Britons risk paying out significant sums to replace items damaged while exercising."

She added: "By investing in comprehensive home insurance, householders can cover themselves should their property or its contents be damaged while they exercise."
