Men’s Fitness magazine just released their annual list of fittest and fattest cities in America, and out nation’s capital comes in ranked #13.
I would like to think that it is a result of our world-class personal trainers. Unfortunately quality of personal training available wasn’t one of the judging criteria. Instead they looked at things like.
-
how much residents are excising
-
how healthfully they eat
-
how much they use gym memberships
-
how much junk food they consume
-
how much alcohol they consume
-
how much time they spend sitting in traffic.
Men’s Fitness also talks to mayors and city parks departments to learn about local exercise venues, programs designed to get citizens off their couches and moving, and civic leadership.
Washington would have ranked a lot higher if it wasn’t for alcohol comsumption and time spent in traffic. We received a grade of “F” when it came to booze and an “F+” when it came to traffic.
