California Business Minute™

Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.

We knew this all along that people that live in California cities are the most active
in the nation but it took a national ranking of the 100 largest cities to validate it.

Men's Health ranked the least and most active cities in the nation.  It said it looked
at where and how often people exercise, the percentage of households that watch more
than 15 hours of cable a week, buy more than 11 video games a year and the rate of
deaths from deep-vein thrombosis.

The following lists the most active and least active city residents.
