ACSM will reveal the healthiest and fittest of America’s 50 most populous metropolitan areas on May 24, 2010, in coordination with SHAPE magazine’s ACSM American Fitness Index™ feature story, “The Top 10 Fittest Cities” in its June issue.  The complete rankings are part of the AFI data report, “Health and Community Fitness Status of the 50 Largest Metropolitan Areas.”

The AFI data report, produced in partnership with the WellPoint Foundation, reflects a composite of preventive health behaviors, levels of chronic disease conditions, health care access, as well as community resources and policies that support physical activity.

Stay tuned next week to find out how your community measures up.
