These are the best cities for an active lifestyle in 2019 These are the best cities for an active lifestyle in 2019 As bikini and speedo weather fast approaches, people across the United States are making New Yearâs resolutions that have something to do with exercise. Some of them may want to lose 15 pounds. Others may be more intent on wellness. Whatever the reason, itâs likely that a lot of Americans are hitting the gym, yoga studio or hiking trail this month to reach their fitness goals.But, although an active lifestyle is almost universally acknowledged as a positive thing, access to fitness resources varies greatly based on geography. In Lincoln, Nebraska, for example, there are a plethora of options for fitness and aerobics training.Meanwhile, in Corpus Christi, Texas, there are only 29 fitness trainers or aerobics instructors per 100,000 residents.So where are the best places to live if an active, healthy lifestyle is a priority for you?
