Backcountry.com: The Goat � Blog Archive � Minneapolis Named Most-Fit City in the U.S., and Oklahoma City Least-Fit

From The Goat
A study conducted by the American College of Sports Medicine has named Minneapolis the most fit city in America, with D.C., Portland, San Francisco, and Denver rounding out the top five. The most unfit place to live in America is Oklahoma City. The study measures things like how many people walk or bike to work, as well as the prevalence of things like obesity and diabetes. In Oklahoma City only about 2.6% of people bike to work, while in Minneapolis about 7.6% of residents bike or walk.  Gear Junkie asks if this makes Oklahoma City the new “Fat City USA”? I say, “Yes, you’re off the hook Milwaukee!”
