It does feel as though a lot of the fittest cities reside in California. There’s likely a reason for this, but it’s anyone’s guess what the top reasons are.

Denver, Colorado

The fact that it’s called the Mile High City has a lot to do with this. It’s tough to stay unhealthy in a place where the elevation plays a big factor in everyday life.

Look at this city and ask yourself how anyone would stay unhealthy. Just a look up one of those hills is enough to make one sweat.

Again, parks and playgrounds are a big part of staying fit. The ratio of citizens to parks is insane, in a good way.

As far as healthy eating goes people are conscious of what they put into their bodies. Plus, with so much sitting in walking distance, it’s better to enjoy the day when possible and just hoof it.

Arlington, Virginia

With all the sights to see and the fact that this is a busy city, it’s not tough to see how it’s one of the fittest cities. It’s been that way for a while now.
