I Investigated America's Fittest City

America one of the fattest countries in the world where forty percent of adults are obese twenty percent are severely obese but with all that there's a Hidden Gem Arlington Virginia the fittest city in America five years in a row with a score of 86 of a possible 100 on the American Fitness index today we're going to check it out to see what you me and the rest of the world can learn Arlington is ranked in the top 10 for highest bike score meaning that they're very bike friendly a lot of bike lanes and when it places pedestrian friendly that means people are getting more active throughout the day as opposed to just on planned exercise times so with that said we're gonna bike to our first stop there are tons of these Like Bike Share Lanes like literally everywhere you can see on the map over there there's like red dots everywhere so I've never actually biked on the road before so I'm kind of nervous probably I don't hurt myself they should come to helmets it's five cents per minute I should really be increasing my own fee you know what I mean hopefully biking here is not like biking in New York but I'd probably have to be a combination of every can of Reese character just to you know Dodge tax these pedestrians and knee deep potholes my only threat is probably getting run off the road by a by a jack chipmunk holy [ __ ] it's so smooth almost too smooth which makes for a great commute but not a good substitute to my morning rides okay we got some downhill what goes up must come down but sometimes something can't go up okay let's go come on [Music] this is a stupid idea I'm starting to think that the eight minutes was for the average Arlington person is the average person Lance Armstrong I feel like we've broken like 15 laws on the way here I wonder if the cops have been more fit to chase these people I don't want to find out oh you're good oh we're two minutes away never again we're taking Ubers from now on never again [Music] I don't know how exciting this shake looks right now they're riding ice cream running oh that's I was gonna say I don't know how exciting that shake looked until they started that Supreme yogurt so it was pretty good we got the green cure smoothie 375 calories there is guacamole kale and strawberry it kind of looks like guacamole that would have me bringing my pillow to the bathroom afterwards like that looks a little bit suspicious I'm definitely doing this for myself but not for me if you know what I'm saying this is definitely for my body I just got ambushed by Kale we had some avocado we had some strawberry I've had a grapefruit this morning depending on their definition it consumes there were three servings of fruit down Arlington is ranked in the top 10 for percentage of residents that consume two plus servings of fruit per day the more I'm drinking it the more I'm liking it it's kind of like a culinary Stockholm Syndrome really good actually damn Arlington leads America with a number of residents that meet aerobic and strength training guidelines so we gotta go work out to fit in there's some great bodybuilding gyms like this one right here DMV iron one of the top three bodybuilding gyms in America I'm supposed to do a leg but we're walking around there's so many sick machines so this wouldn't be a full body day to try a bunch of stuff out and have some fun take a look at this machine it's for your forearms it looks like it's like for like something not in your forearms I freaking destroyed my forearms this morning I'm assuming they have this machine here because there's some badass power Liquors and strong manifesty I'm like it looks like the average squat probably 600 pounds if you have one of these at your gym it's an absolute privilege the steel wheel foreign [Music] ER I haven't seen such a creative way to hit something since my dealer lost his bong this is like a Cirque du Soleil porn parody or something if I [ __ ] up I'm like literally like in the middle everyone whoa that show's crazy [Music] this is taking being afraid of a leg day to a whole new level we just realized that this entire side of the gym all of these machines are all for your legs it's insane there's so much stuff like leg press I'm jealous I don't think I've ever experienced a mind muscle connection quite like this I feel like I'm connected with my quad like seriously connected very connected we didn't know what this machine was it could literally be anything I've been here for like the past couple minutes trying to figure it out it looks like we're in the bicep section so each side is its own seat it's a single arm curl yeah remember they used to ignore us it's like musical chairs [Music] but now I'm going hard enough that the streams will lead to a house we were literally just saying that if you're a member at this gym and you're not jacked you should be ashamed of yourself because everything here is the best machine I've ever used in my entire life did you know Arlington is a Felicity in America no I didn't know you didn't know that no I did not I did not know that I did you did know that yeah what's the biggest contributing factor to that you think whatever wealth is there's help learn anything money okay someone else said money too they will have more free time I'm guessing because this is actually probably a fairly Rich area they're probably saying the same thing yeah like high quality gyms Orange Theory Cycles they're everywhere literally next door there's a CrossFit gym and then on the other side there's a kids playground thing yeah how many days a week are you in the gym every day my mom's a bodybuilder though yeah she's like 65. she's working in first place you know the NPC ones not nothing special yeah he was he's 60 pounds down yeah if you want to see me like yeah that's his driver's license six months ago look at the face difference you got the Chisel draw line man protractor out oh yeah there's a tendency in America for like everything we set up for you to make bad decisions very easily you look at these like obese parts of the world yeah people have no money so you have to resort to fast food and because they give no other option right so you have to eat something that gym was a solid 10 out of 10. now we're gonna go try to find a healthy meal which I don't think will be too hard to find remember when I said finding a healthy place would not be that hard while I was right I searched healthy restaurants and Google Maps and a bunch of red dots popped up it's like I'm trying to find a fake Nadia in zoo culture there's a lot of options to choose from in a very like small proximity here so we are literally standing in front of another Sweet Leaf apparently in Arlington local spot I see a Nando's which is great usually in America you're overall with fast food I've yet to see any fast food look at this we're literally at the traffic light there's an orange Series right there One Life Fitness there's a true food and then there's a Chipotle crazy almost all the restaurants are Mediterranean I don't know if this is coincidental but the Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest diets in the world a lot of grilled foods a lot of fresh vegetables good quality carbs and protein and fats another thing is there is literally no smokers we've been hanging around the city all day I've yet to see One smoker so they have the least amount of smokers in all of America three and a half percent of the population smokes which I think is amazing I think it's cigarettes they didn't specify I do see some people that need my eye drops maybe they had a green care of their own if you know what I mean but yeah I'm hungry second restaurant we've been to today they also have the calories I think is amazing it's really important to know what's in your food I ordered myself which I don't typically do a drink with calories in it we got the Hibiscus limeade refresher the guy when I ordered that he was like do you plug your nose when you jump in the pool as well 110 calories smells like a lady [Music] tastes like a lady oh my God that's exactly what I needed I feel kind of low right now for a lot of steps we've been walking a lot it's three o'clock almost at 10 000 steps so typically at home 10 to 12 000 so I'm going to surpass that today a lot of foot a lot of footsteps a lot of food so I got brussels sprouts and I got spaghetti squash casserole I'm never allowed to have brussels sprouts at home because I fart and Katie says they're not allowed in the house but Katie I know you're watching oh my God those are good holy [ __ ] ready squash is like a step dad it's trying to be the real thing but we we all know it's not whenever there's cheese on top it's like gaslighting me into thinking it's unhealthy the meat eats some Chopstick because it's dry it's like my soul but I feel good I just wanted to say that I feel good I'm eating healthy when you eat healthy you feel energized it's just awesome you could do hard drugs for a week straight you come to a place like this it'll short you out Arlington household incomes almost doubled the national average meaning people can afford to eat out and get high quality healthy foods along with restaurants there's even a vast difference in the types of foods offered in grocery stores compared to less affluent areas with tons of high-end stores to choose from like Whole Foods Balducci's and Mom's Organic Market you have to love an independent grocery store sure the prices are outrageous but they always have the firmest zucchinis the juiciest grapefruits and pineapple in season Beyond just Valentine's Day there are 184 parks in Arlington so Arlington's not that big 250 000 people and 184 Parks so we're gonna check out a few of them right now we are currently in Mosaic Park which is like a kids playground so we gotta be kind of careful here I don't even know if I'm allowed here but look at this beautiful let me try to go
