These are the best cities for an active lifestyle in 2019

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 Year’s 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, it’s 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? WalletHub has compared the U.S.’ 100 most populous cities and compiled a list of which locations fare well when it comes to physical activity in 2019 - and which don’t.Unsurprisingly, major cities such as San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Chicago and New York place high, as do outdoor havens such as Honolulu.Best cities for an active lifestyle Overall Rank (1 = Best) City WalletHub’s Active Lifestyle Score ‘Budget Participation’ Rank ‘Sports Outdoors’ Rank 1 Honolulu, HI 63.36 47 1 2 Chicago, IL 59.98 56 2 3 San Francisco, CA 59.07 55 3 4 Portland, OR 59.00 1 7 5 Seattle, WA 55.11 26 5 6 Minneapolis, MN 54.21 12 9 7 Washington, DC 54.19 28 6 8 Denver, CO 54.16 4 12 9 San Diego, CA 53.26 27 8 10 Madison, WI 52.14 8 13 11 New York, NY 50.82 93 4 12 Philadelphia, PA 50.46 39 11 13 Boston, MA 50.36 44 10 14 Lincoln, NE 50.32 6 16 15 Boise, ID 49.56 2 20 16 Sacramento, CA 48.46 22 15 17 Atlanta, GA 48.03 11 18 18 Austin, TX 46.98 42 14 19 Tampa, FL 46.87 21 19 20 Las Vegas, NV 46.00 5 31 21 St. Paul, MN 45.99 24 21 22 Reno, NV 45.86 3 34 23 Irvine, CA 45.70 17 24 24 Orlando, FL 45.69 13 26 25 Los Angeles, CA 45.68 48 17 26 Milwaukee, WI 45.18 20 25 27 Cincinnati, OH 44.83 18 28 28 Omaha, NE 43.77 57 22 29 St. Louis, MO 43.50 9 38 30 Tucson, AZ 43.10 32 30 31 Buffalo, NY 42.80 7 43 32 Baltimore, MD 42.47 73 23 33 Colorado Springs, CO 41.61 38 33 34 Miami, FL 41.60 41 32 35 Norfolk, VA 41.41 71 27 36 Cleveland, OH 41.36 61 29 37 Scottsdale, AZ 41.28 19 45 38 San Jose, CA 40.92 46 35 39 Virginia Beach, VA 40.46 45 36 40 Charlotte, NC 39.92 43 41 41 Pittsburgh, PA 39.88 10 53 42 Houston, TX 39.61 52 42 43 Phoenix, AZ 39.58 58 37 44 Albuquerque, NM 38.56 31 47 45 Chesapeake, VA 37.95 81 39 46 Fremont, CA 37.74 23 60 47 Henderson, NV 37.63 35 50 48 Jacksonville, FL 37.01 83 44 49 Nashville, TN 36.93 72 46 50 New Orleans, LA 36.50 51 55 51 Raleigh, NC 36.22 37 62 52 Indianapolis, IN 36.19 54 59 53 Dallas, TX 35.69 69 52 54 Glendale, AZ 35.58 98 40 55 Aurora, CO 35.19 79 51 56 Long Beach, CA 35.17 36 67 57 Lubbock, TX 35.12 14 78 58 Oakland, CA 35.08 77 56 59 Greensboro, NC 35.00 87 48 60 Kansas City, MO 34.99 76 58 61 San Antonio, TX 34.99 68 61 62 Anchorage, AK 34.74 89 49 63 Durham, NC 34.55 65 63 64 Fort Wayne, IN 34.26 15 83 65 Birmingham, AL 34.22 33 80 66 Columbus, OH 34.09 86 57 67 St. Petersburg, FL 34.04 66 65 68 Plano, TX 33.75 92 54 69 Baton Rouge, LA 33.53 64 68 70 Anaheim, CA 33.49 16 86 71 Laredo, TX 33.41 74 64 72 Mesa, AZ 33.16 62 70 73 Louisville, KY 33.16 59 73 74 Lexington-Fayette, KY 32.77 49 76 75 Jersey City, NJ 32.63 75 71 76 Detroit, MI 32.49 82 66 77 San Bernardino, CA 32.48 53 91 78 Chandler, AZ 32.27 70 75 79 Chula Vista, CA 32.18 25 87 80 El Paso, TX 31.97 78 74 81 Tulsa, OK 31.86 88 69 82 Winston-Salem, NC 31.73 40 82 83 Riverside, CA 31.73 34 88 84 Fort Worth, TX 31.25 80 77 85 Santa Ana, CA 31.06 30 94 86 Stockton, CA 30.94 29 95 87 Gilbert, AZ 30.21 96 72 88 Oklahoma City, OK 30.04 84 81 89 Corpus Christi, TX 29.95 63 90 90 Newark, NJ 29.67 60 93 91 Memphis, TN 29.05 97 79 92 Garland, TX 28.62 94 84 93 Toledo, OH 28.61 85 89 94 Wichita, KS 28.13 50 99 95 Arlington, TX 27.74 91 92 96 Fresno, CA 27.64 67 98 97 Irving, TX 26.12 95 96 98 Bakersfield, CA 24.49 90 100 99 North Las Vegas, NV 24.44 100 85 100 Hialeah, FL 23.59 99 97 Even more dataBeyond overall rankings, WalletHub broke down some of the factors that influence whether people work out.Unsurprisingly, larger cities have some pretty hefty fitness club fees - but they also play host to a lot of basketball hoops, playgrounds, and other, more public places for exercise.
