That's a good point. Sustaining an elevated heart rate and burning
calories more rapidly than usual on a regular basis may not
accurately describe what happens during employment hours.<br>
<br>
Here's the paragraph describing the procedure the 24/7 Wall St.
article writers used:<br>
<br>
<p>To identify the laziest city in every state, 24/7 Wall St.
analyzed the level of physical activity in each metro area in all
50 states. We reviewed the percentage of adults in every metro
area who report engaging in no physical activity during their
leisure time, with data from County Health Rankings &
Roadmaps, a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health
Institute. Obesity rate and days feeling physically unhealthy over
a 30-day period also came from County Health Rankings &
Roadmaps. Educational attainment, median household income, and
population data came from the American Community Survey.<br>

<p>Americans appear to be exercising more and more every year.
When surveyed about their exercise habits, 73% of Americans
reported they engaged in physical activity during their
leisure time. Of course, exercise habits vary widely from
state to state, and even more so from city to city. In
Beckley, the laziest city in West Virginia, just 64.0% of
residents report regular physical activity. Meanwhile in
Burlington, the laziest city in Vermont, 83.6% of residents
exercise regularly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Exercise is an important determinant of overall health.
Mississippi — the state where residents report the lowest
levels of physical activity — also has the highest obesity
rate. The situation is reversed in Colorado, where the highest
level of physical activity coincides with the lowest obesity
rate in the country.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><strong>12. Idaho</strong><b><br>
<strong>> Laziest city:</strong></b> Lewiston<br>
<strong>> Pct. of city residents reporting physical
activity:</strong> 77.7%<br>
<strong>> Pct. of state residents reporting physical

<strong>> Obesity rate:</strong> 30.7%<br>
<strong>> City population:</strong> 60,884<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In Idaho, more than four out of five residents report regular
physical activity, a far higher share than the 73.0% of
Americans who do, and the ninth highest of any state. While
Lewiston adults exercise less than Idaho as a whole, they are
still more active than Americans overall, with 77.7% of
residents getting regular physical activity.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Populations that exercise less tend to be in worse physical
health, and Lewiston is no exception. Of all adults in the
metro area, 30.7% are obese, significantly higher than Idaho’s
27.3% obesity rate. Residents in areas with higher levels of
education tend to exercise more, and vice versa. In Lewiston,
just 21.3% of adults have at least a bachelor’s degree, the
lowest share in the state.<o:p></o:p></p>
