"To determine the laziest city or metro area in every state — the city whose residents are getting the least exercise — 24/7 Tempo reviewed data from the 2023 County Health Rankings, a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. The data reflects the self-reported share of adults in a city or metro area who do not exercise during their leisure time. Physical activity participation differs substantially between cities and their encompassing states. Out of 50 metropolitan areas analyzed, 45 have higher rates of exercise inactivity than their corresponding state overall, with only 5 cities proving exceptions."
