They say that no man (or woman) is an island. While yes, it’s good to endorse the idea of self-empowerment—the idea that we don’t need others to lift us up—it’s also good to surround ourselves with like-minded individuals. So even if you have the best mindset in the world, it can be hard to achieve your goals if you’re around people who don’t encourage it. If you’re trying to get more in shape, here are three cities in America that’ll make you feel at home.
Arlington, Virginia
U.S. News ranked Arlington number one in the country in six major categories related to fitness. With residents constantly exercising across a wide variety of mediums, showing reports of great health, and low rates of smoking, this is certainly one of the fittest cities in the States.
Seattle, Washington
The people of Seattle are certainly on their game when it comes to staying active. U.S. News ranked the city third in the country for aerobic activities, and sixth in a category called bikeability.
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Speaking of bikeability, if you love riding bikes as your primary form of exercise, you’ll fit in quite well in Minneapolis, because it’s a major trend there. Health-wise, its residents ranked third to lowest in high-blood pressure rate out of 100 cities.
