Salt lake city

Yes. That's right. The most powerful city in America, Salt Lake City. Well, of course, awards such as these are certainly a variety of criteria. And in each case to the debate. But according to Men's Fitness magazine February 2009 issue of Utah's capital tops them all.

The newspaper has made this analysis in 11 years by an independent research firm. And what they do based on this statement? Through analysis of the 50 largest cities - or metropolitan areas - in the country for more than a dozen different areas, they will their results.

Yes, Salt Lake City during the years changed. And as any other American city, seems like a fast food outlet on every corner. For me, even more than in other cities. And ice cream joints are sure to find easily. They are everywhere.

Make sure the highways are packed. And if you were here at one of our winter inversions, will be scratching his head wondering what this award is based on.

Well, it is through such things as:

• the proportion of obese citizens.
• The number of fitness center and sports stores.
• Time spent watching TV.
• and much more.

Salt Lake won praise for a high proportion of residents who are motivated to keep fit. High scores were:

• Obesity low (comparatively). I mean, look around. The soil is thick and thicker. But people here are apparently just "less fat".
• low television viewing. 23% less than average. Wow. Things have come to this. Less TV ad is a criterion for fitness.
• with a large number of parks and gyms. In fact, residents participate in the sport 102% more than the average American city.
• Residents walk to Fitness 109% more than average. The highest proportion among all rated cities.
• Health food stores are good blow away the national average.

One of the most interesting results of this analysis is to find the city itself at the bottom of the list. Beautiful, sunny Miami. The people in Salt Lake City is four times more likely to swim than the residents of Miami. And the city has much more room than a public park, Miami. Presented 11 times!

The study found no negative about Salt Lake City and surrounding areas.
