Salt Lake City is the fittest city in America -- here are 24 more

The flip side of the coin when it comes to discussing the fattest cities in America is, of course, which cities are home to the fittest populations.

Using a host of criteria focusing on the healthy lifestyles of certain urban centers, Men's Fitness magazine has labeled these 25 cities the country's most fit:

Salt Lake City
Colorado Springs
Minneapolis
Denver
Albuquerque
Portland
Honolulu
Seattle
Omaha
Virginia Beach
Milwaukee
San Francisco
Tucson
Boston
Cleveland
St. Louis
Austin
Washington
Sacramento
Oakland
Atlanta
Fresno
Tampa
Nashville
Pittsburgh

It's interesting how so many of these are either in the Midwest or West, which I suppose gives support to the argument that life is generally better outside the Northeast corridor.
