"6. North Carolina Physically active adults: 60.9% North Carolina is an interesting state in terms of its characteristics of physical activity. At number six, not even 61% of North Carolinian adults report much exercise, but in other ways the state seems to be addressing the problem. Fewer adults report no physical activity than the national average (24.5% as opposed to 25.4% of American adults in general), and young people are quite active, with 24.5% of high school students reporting moderate physical activity compared to the 17.1% for the nation as a whole."

Interesting that the top ones are all in the South

In an unrelated story, North Carolina is #6 on the list of Happiest States.

I was going to make a comment about not wanting to click the link, but I guess if they are talking about physical activity that would not make sense.

Now I wonder how many people who report activity were lying. Honestly that seems a bit high given the state of things.

People have misconstrued ideas of "physical activity".

I count it as exercise when I get up to urinate instead of using my bedpan.
