I saw this link earlier today and it's not a very sound study. It just means people in those cities post facebook statuses about exercising a lot.

Correct. To add, the more attractive you are the higher the odds that set your facebook profile on private to keep the creepers away. This study only includes the public profiles.

Yahoo's journalistic accuracy and approach is questionable.

I'm sure the military props up this area in terms of being fit.

It is just another arbitrary metric... but it is not like VB doesn't show up on these kinds of lists pretty regularly to begin with. It is always ranked high for parks, rec centers, and a fit population by mens health and various other surveys that use more robust metrics. I would take the consistent high rank as a good sign that we have a pretty healthy population in VB. I mean you don't see Trenton, Newark, or Memphis on any of these lists for a reason. LOL
