ABSTRACT
A study was formulated to assess the level of awareness regarding different exercise activities among four groups vis-a alpha- vis doctors, lawyers, teachers and businessmen. It has been observed that all four groups are equal in their awareness of various activities (Jogging, sports, walking, swimming, morning activities, heath club activities, maintenance of health and nervous system stability) except participation in any re-creative activities. The groups were also aware of the benefits of exercise that can make human look best. The level of awareness was not determined by Body Mass Index (low or high) or age (young, medium and old) of the respondents.
