The fittest city

According to americanfitnessindex.org:

The top 10

1. Minneapolis, MN

2. Washington, DC

3. Portland, OR

4. San Francisco, CA

5. Denver, CO

6. Boston, MA

7. Sacramento, CA

8. Seattle, WA

9. Hartford, CT

10. San Jose, CA

The bottom 5

1. Memphis, TN

2. Louisville, KY

3. San Antonio, TX

4. Detroit, MI

5. Oklahoma City, OK

Is your city on here? What makes a city fit?

I am surprised to see my city of Seattle, WA on here at 8. I suppose it helps to have a lot of biking, walking, running and hiking trails around the region. So that begs the question: if Seattle is so fit, where did us VSG Seattleites go wrong? Bariatric surgery business is booming here and it seems like everyone is always on a diet.

Do you agree with this list?

Let's hear your thoughts and theories.

That's part of why I like Portland....I may have to live "car free."

I think the funniest thing is when they first started coming out a few rich people thought they were so special driving their 100,000 dollar car..

Now EVERYONE has one.. :P it's like a Honda around here... Not so special anymore :D

But really there are so many Awesome things about living here that you overlook the status symbol types..

OK, you two are bad (Laura-Ven and zenandnow) and now I'm gonna jump in. I saw a woman this morning whose lips looked like she kissed a blowfish. Went great with that elfin eye look you get from pulling the skin too tight behind the ears.

Butter: We also have great farmers markets. There is one almost every day somewhere in the valley during the summer. The one in Mt. View is the best I've been to.

**** zenandnow! I hope your not a tesla owner!!!

Sorry if you are.... They are a great car!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I would have spent that money on lipo, not some stupid car!! Besides, I'm one of the LG poor, I don't have enough disposable income to drive my Tesla around with my duck lips & elfin eyes!

There is one lady down the street that doesn't even look human anymore I stare at her and try and figure out if she used to be pretty because she looks alien now.. Like the chicks on real housewives of the O.C.

:D the good thing is you won't find any of them hiking in the. Santa Cruz mountains.. They don't like not wearing makeup and getting dirty..

It's suprising Seattle is on the list since 9-10 months out of the year is raining so I avoided getting wet and doing things like parking close to a building of driving places in stead of walking. Of course the summer if a different story. But if you think about if Seattle for the most part is every green and health conscious but I'd say I only noticed that within the last ten years.

Seattle didn't fail me in terms of my weight issues I failed it. Like I remember my high school and middle school were within walking distant so I didn't have a bus but I almost always found rides instead of walking the 1-2miles home.

I'm surprised Manhattan NY isn't on the list that was non stop walking there!
