SaysWho? Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/28/health/cdc-exercise-report-study/index.html Quote If you live in Colorado, there's a decent chance you've exercised today. That state had the highest percentage of adults meeting the guidelines, with 32.5% doing so, according to the report. The District of Columbia and 13 other states also significantly surpassed it. Thirteen states, most notably Mississippi at just 13.5%, were significantly lower than the national average. "Many of the states with the highest percentages of populations meeting the guidelines through leisure-time physical activity were what you'd call 'cold weather states' like Colorado, New Hampshire, Massachusetts," Clarke said. "And usually, we would think the warmer states would have more people outside running or biking or cycling, because that's what we see on TV all the time."

PaladinSolo Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Been looking for a new house in upstate NY, if people are as bad about exercise as they are about taking care of their homes i can definitely see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'm out there getting, if nothing else, at the very minimum my 10,000 steps every day. It's not the magic number some of those old articles pretended it is, but it's a good baseline to make sure you're walking for at least an hour and a half or so every day.

legend Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Does this account for the fact that some states may have different numbers of people with general activity through life? For example, people in NYC may walk a lot more than people in other states, due to the nature of the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state as a whole lags, but I don't know if it broke it down by county/region because NYC vs. upstate would be an interesting comparison, as would places with public transit/things in walking distance vs. places where driving is a must.

It's sucks when it's hot and muggy to do much in the Southeast. Where it is a dry heat or west you have higher numbers of activity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 My new job has me walking around 8,000-10,000 steps per day, along with regular recreation bike rides and activities, so I think I'm in good territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
