Forbes: Las Vegas 3rd Most Sedentary City

Well, we were edged out by Memphis and New Orleans, but Las Vegas got third! Woo-hoo! Except that the list is called the most “sedentary” (read: Lazy). Anyway, Forbes claims their research shows 64 percent of Las Vegas residents are overweight or obese and watch 38 hours of TV per week (thank you Las Vegas!).

I suppose those numbers don’t lie, but with the great weather, abundance of parks, bike lanes and recreation areas, it seems we should have ranked better. What  are your thoughts?

Here is the top 10 list (read the entire story here):

  1. Memphis
  2. New Orleans
  3. Las Vegas
  4. Detroit
  5. Birmingham
  6. Louisville
  7. San Antonio
  8. Nashville
  9. Miami
