Salt Lake City Named #1 for Sports, Fitness

Men's Fitness magazine named Salt Lake City as America's "Fittest City," recognizing its outdoor-oriented lifestyle, superior biking and hiking trails, and high number of health food stores. Salt Lake City residents also spend 23 percent less time watching television than the average American does.

Rounding out the Men's Fitness top five "fittest cities" were Colorado Springs, Minneapolis, Denver and Albuquerque.

Miami was named the "fattest city" because of the number of fast food restaurant there, low usage rates for fitness centers, and other factors.
