Is your resolution for the new year to be more active? You could move to one of these two Minnesota cities, named among two of the best for an active lifestyle.
This is a really hard time of the year to get motivated. It is dark so early and the weather really makes it hard to rally! However, Duluth is a pretty active place, which definitely helps.
Just last month, one Minnesota city was named one of the most caring, which is a huge accomplishment. St. Paul took the title and made Minnesota proud with that one.
Now, as mentioned, Minnesota is now getting another moment in the sun, with two major cities being named the best for an active lifestyle. Sadly, and strangely enough, one of them is not Duluth.

To make this list, analysts looked at a bunch of different factors including monthly fitness-club fees, how many adults are inactive, the number of swimming pools per capita and more. They also looked at tennis courts, basketball hoops and golf courses per capita, among other factors.

Way to represent! Minneapolis was named the twelfth best city for an active lifestyle, while St. Paul came in at number fifteen. That’s pretty great considering the list is made up of about 100 cities.

St.Paul got a bit of a boost, boasting a high number of golf courses per capita and rounding out the top five there. They also tied for first place when it comes to basketball hoops per capita. Who knew?!
As for the best city for an active lifestyle? That would be Honolulu, which is not surprising at all. If I lived in Hawaii, I would spend all my time outside. It’s so beautiful. New York came in second, which also makes sense, since you have to do so much walking!
