There's the treadmill, jogging, high-intensity interval training, combined group fitness classes, and yoga. It seems like gyms and fitness refimens are popping up more often. But where are Americans the fittest?

A new poll put together by Gallup and Sharecare has ranked the cities that exercise the most, ranking them from 1 to 189. They took a look at the habits of exercisers over a week. They were deemed "regular exercisers" if they worked out 30 minutes a day for at least three days a week.
