Men's Health Magazine has come out with its annual rankings of the 25 "fattest" and "fittest" cities [2] in America. Denver was ranked the fourth fittest city in the country, behind Honolulu, San Francisco and Virginia Beach (who knew?), just ahead of fifth place Colorado Springs. Denver's fitness report card [3] includes "A" grades for fitness centers, exercise and sports participation, weight and TV watching, and even air quality, plus an A- for nutrition. So why are we only in fourth place? Well, it probably has something to do with that D- grade for junk food consumption and that F for alcohol consumption. Men's Health's 2003 report [4] noted disapprovingly that Denver has far more bars and taverns per capita than most other cities. As far as I'm concerned, this study just proves that Denver is a fantastic place to live. Nothing like a good workout at the Athletic Club at Denver Place [5] followed by a few beers at the Falling Rock Tap House [6].
