Seattle is second-fittest city in nation

 

P-I STAFF

 

Seattle is back in the top of the rankings as one of the fittest cities in the United States.

The Emerald City ranks second behind Albuquerque, N.M., as the fittest American city in 2007, according to Men's Fitness magazine. It's a significant rebound from its topple from the top spot in 2005 to eighth last year.

Men's Fitness looks at data it say makes people fit or fat, including how much people exercise, how healthy they eat, how much junk food is consumed, how much time people sit in traffic and how often they use gym memberships. The magazine also talks to mayors and city parks departments to learn about the local restaurant venues, civic leadership and city fitness programs.

Rounding out the top five fittest cities are Colorado Springs, Colo., Minneapolis and Tucson, Ariz.

The magazine also ranks the fattest cities in America, giving the top 2007 honor to Las Vegas, followed by San Antonio, Miami, Mesa, Ariz., and Los Angeles.
