2 Minnesota Cities Make America’s Top-10 Most Fit List

Two Minnesota cities have earned spots on the list of America's top 10 Most Fit Cities in America.

This recognition apparently underscores Minnesota's reputation for promoting active lifestyles and outdoor recreation.

Minneapolis and St. Paul, collectively known as the Twin Cities, have likely secured these positions due to their extensive park systems, bike-friendly infrastructure, and numerous fitness facilities.

The cities boast over 200 miles of dedicated bike lanes and trails, encouraging residents to commute and exercise on two wheels.

The abundance of lakes and green spaces in both cities provides ample opportunities for activities like kayaking, running, and outdoor yoga.

In winter, residents embrace cold-weather sports such as cross-country skiing and ice skating.

According to a new study by the American College of Sports Medicine, these are the Top 10 Most Fit Cities...

1. Arlington, Va.
2. Washington, D.C.
3. Seattle, Wash.
4. San Francisco, Calif.
5. Madison, Wis.
6. Minneapolis, Minn.
7. Denver, Colo.
