With summer upon us, are you feeling fat rather than fit?
There's a reason for that. It turns out that although Los Angeles is obsessed with diet and exercise, we rank 29th in the list of the 50 most fit cities.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine Fitness Index, although residents in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Santa Ana smoke less and use public transportation more, we suffer from more poor mental health days and diabetes than elsewhere in the nation.
Riverside is ranked at No. 35. The San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont area ranked as the fourth fittest city. And San Diego in 14th place outranks the Southland.
The most unfit city on the list is Oklahoma City, OK.
And coming in as No. 1... Minneapolis.
