Mens Fitness names Baltimore America's fittest city.  I have no problem with that since I never been to Baltimore so as far as I know it could be the fittest city.  The problem I have is they name San Diego 21st Fattest City in America and did not mention them in the fittest.

I find this hard to believe since I live here and see the number of people running, skating, surfing, rowing and biking.  This city and county thrives on exercise and the active lifestyle.

I think the key thing to take away from that is it comes from Men's Fitness Magazine.  It says they looked at things like park space.  Now where does it mention anything about how much people exercise.  Last year's number 1 was Seattle.  I would think the weather alone in those two city's would have to drop them below somewhere like San Diego.  Bottome line is it is not about exercise but about available health care, available parks, # of fast food resteraunts, etc.
