From 2001 to 2005, the number of women who said they exercised regularly rose from 43 percent to 46.7 percent; the number of men who said the same thing rose from 46 percent to 49.6 percent, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The study looked at data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which compared telephone responses from 205,140 people in 2002 with responses from 356,112 in 2005.

Regular physical activity was defined as at least 30 minutes per day of moderate-intensity activity at least five days per week or at least 20 minutes per day of vigorous-intensity activity at least three days per week.

The study found that racial and ethnic differences persist. Among men, non-Latino whites reported exercising the most (52.3 percent), followed by "other race" (45.7 percent), non-Latino blacks (45.3 percent) and Latinos (41.9 percent).

Among women, non-Latina whites were most active (49.6 percent), followed by "other race" women (46.6 percent), Latinas (40.5 percent), and non-Latina blacks (36.1 percent).

People with more education were more likely to say they got regular exercise. Among people who said they had graduated from college, the figures were 54.6 percent for men and 53.3 percent for women, versus slightly more than a third of men and women (37.2 percent and 37.1 percent, respectively) who said they had not graduated high school.

Don't be the percentage of Americans who don't exercise enough! STAY MOTIVATED WITH THESE TIPS:

 Don't make exercise a chore, find something that you enjoy doing.

 Try working out first thing in the morning, it'll give you a sense of accomplishment and energize you for the rest of the day.

 Give yourself variety! Take classes like Pilates or kickboxing and use a variety of machines at the gym.

 If time is an issue invest in some at home workout equipment, maybe some weights, a stability ball. You can even search your local classified listings for a used treadmill or elliptical trainer.

 Make exercise a priority like brushing your teeth even if it's just 20 minutes each day. Exercising every day is just as important as getting your hair trimmed every six weeks or exfoliating regularly. Looking fabulous requires maintenance.

 Try The Lunch Time Workout!

 Always keep your ipod updated with the Best Workout Songs.

The 35-year-old mom of three (Luca, 10, Lola, 4, and Fiona, 1) has found the alternative to dieting: “Rehearsing for six hours.”

Garth tells Us, "When I decided to do [Dancing with the Stars], I did pilates three days a week and cardio twice. I hated it, but it helped. Once I started dancing, things changed faster than when I was just working out."

Garth says she's dropped 10 pounds since starting on the show, "but it's more about the inches and toning. My jeans were a 29 when I started, and I'm wearing a 27 now," she explains. "It's great to be able to go to the back of my closet and get the clothes I wore [prebaby]."
