Forbes: America’s most sedentary cities.

Forbes: America’s most sedentary cities.

Forbes added together three scores for each city. These scores measured body mass index, physical inactivity, and television viewing. They derived the first two scores from the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, the television viewing score came from Nielsen data.

Memphis came in first and five of the top ten are cities in the southeastern United States (I’m not counting Miami).
