Americans are getting better at being healthy, at least we hope they are. Several years ago we had unfortunate reports of children who would live less years than their parents, mostly because of obesity and a sedentary lifestyle.
Now with fitness trackers being one of the most solid fitness trends of our lifetime, and the constant access to helpful wellness information, maybe the US is turning a wellness corner. All that data helps to convict us of our need for regular physical activity and hopefully remind us of healthful food and eating choices.
Recently, FitBit published their list of 2017 Healthiest Cities in the US. It's a really interesting list! The upper-Mid West wins hands down, if you can believe it. California doesn't even get an honorable mention, and Colorado only got a couple (for overall fitness and 'active' minutes... in Boulder.) Check out the article here.
How is your fitness tracking? Are you getting out on a rail trail, or training for a competitive run? Or maybe you're just getting to the gym regularly to hit a spin class or the rowing machine. Whatever you choose to do, get physically active and stay active! Consider wearing a fitness tracker and see if it might make you better at being healthy.
By the Way
The FitBit data tracking (which is anonymous review of over 10 million FitBit user's data) looked at these top five wellness lifestyle attributes for naming the Fittest city:
- Duration of sleep per night
- Daily Reminders to Move goals met
- Daily steps
- Daily active minutes
- Resting heart rate
