VicHealth statistics show that 41 per cent of women are too embarrassed to exercise in public and females are twice as likely than men to worry about being too unfit to exercise.
"We want all women to feel comfortable about getting out there and giving physical activity a go," VicHealth's Melanie Fineberg said.
