So before you push back the furniture and put the latest celebrity fitness DVD on the telly, check your home insurance policy is up-to-date.
In the Halifax study, it was discovered that half of claimants chose the lounge for their keepfit... putting sofas, TVs and coffee tables in the firing line, while 37 per cent favour the bedroom and three per cent do it in the kitchen.
Here are some of the claims sent to Halifax Home Insurance:
I dropped the weights on my bedroom multigym and found the rose on the downstairs ceiling was destroyed.
Using a rowing machine the chain snapped, spilling oil all over my new carpet.
While weight training I dropped a barbell on to the bed cracking the base.

Home insurance customers given fresh flood tips
A six-point plan has been devised to advise home insurance policyholders on precautionary measures against flooding.Householders should take home insurance documents and other vital paperwork and seal them in a bag and put them in an area of the property safe from water, according to the plan published by council emergency planning chiefs.In addition, the six-point guide advises homeowners to put as much furniture and electrical goods upstairs as possible and cover doors and windows with sandbags or plywood."Anyone living by a river, coastal or flood risk area must be prepared," says Paul Bettison, chairman of the Local Government Association Environment Board.

CIS launches flexible home insurance ‘to suit you’
A new home insurance product launched by CIS will allow homeowners to have far greater flexibility and control when it comes to re-insuring their home.
Customers switching to the new policy will be able to mix and match several different types of insurance cover buildings, contents and personal possessions, travel and caravan yet keep the ease of paying only one premium, with only one piece of documentation and one renewal date. Customers can also make individual payments should they prefer to manage their finances in this way.
In addition to this, CIS offer customers a 7.5 per cent discount when taking out buildings and contents insurance together at the beginning of the policy, as well as free Legal Expenses cover for up to 50,000.

Car insurance is up 4pc in three months
Other insurers, including the Royal Bank of Scotland, which owns Direct Line and Churchill, have since followed suit.
Mr Crowder said: "We expect another hefty rise next quarter, but then we think that it will ease off.
"Last year for every pound;100 the insurance industry took in premiums, it paid out pound;109 in claims. Clearly the maths doesn't add up. Premiums will finally catch up later in the year and it will ease off."
The cost of the cheapest insurance deals has gone up far less than the average quotation, the AA found.
Its index of the "shoparound" premium ; the average of the lowest three quotes ; rose by less than two per cent in the last three months of 2006.

Cowboy builders cost Britons £181m to fix shoddy work
The survey by insurance giant Direct Line found that a third failed to ask for identification before letting them into their homes, while over half didn't bother to check whether qualifications.
Over half of women and the elderly were the worse offenders in failing to carry out basic checks despite the risk of theft or their own safety.
A tenth said they did not want to appear rude, while nearly two-fifths said they simply didn't think to check.
And a staggering nine out of ten admitted they did not know what qualifications their handy man should have, leading to 85 per cent calling for compulsory regulations to ensure standards.

Millions in Dark On Long-Term Health Care
But despite this self-proclaimed familiarity, Americans know precious little about costs and about what insurance covers - in many cases, less what they knew in 2001. For example, only 8 percent of Americans today, compared with 15 percent in 2001, could come up with an estimate within 20 percent of the average cost of a stay in a nursing home. That cost is about $6,266 a month, based on AARP calculations using a MetLife Mature Market Institute survey released in September. Almost two-thirds, or 63 percent, thought the cost was lower, and 17 percent admitted they didn't know. In addition, just 23 percent could come up with an estimate within 20 percent of the average cost of an assisted living facility, which is about $2,968 a month.
