Which State Spends the Most Time Working Out?

You live where? Florida? Yikes! That puts you in the bottom half of pack, when judged on time spent exercising per week. According to the Wall Street Journal’s state by state chart, compiled with 2014 data from the workout app MapMyFitness, Florida is number 32 on the state list, with an average workout of 62.3 minutes. For the record, about 43 percent of that time is spent running, 38 percent walking, and 18 percent cycling. That’s a long way from number one California, with an averate of 87.4 minutes, with 41 percent running, 40 percent walking, and 14 percent cycling. The Journal reports that the national average is 73.2 minutes of exercise a week, less than half the 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When it comes to running, Massachusetts takes with the title, with 37.5 minutes a week. See the big picture here.
