Where do the fittest of the fit fit? In these places, according to USA Today:
What has the lowest smoking rate in the country, a wealth of farmers markets, a system of well-established parks — and now a reputation as a hot spot for health?
Arlington, Va. — Washington, D.C's next-door neighbor along the Potomac River— which was named the fittest city in the U.S. on Tuesday by the 2018 American Fitness Indexreport from the American College of Sports Medicine.
The 11th annual ACSM fitness index awarded the urban hub the top ranking thanks to residents' healthy behaviors. The city’s relatively low smoking rate of 5.9% pales in comparison to the 15% average of the 100 largest cities.
Close behind Arlington was Minneapolis and the nation's capital, which took the honors in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
