I'd bet the most out of shape Americans drive the most lifted trucks, get triggered the most by cyclist and pedestrians using the road and oppose expanding public transit the most. Just a hunch.
Your stereotypes of people would tell only half, or less, of the story.

Why was this post removed? What about it was offensive, racist, or threatening?
Dumbest "study" ever. A survey? All it takes is one guy to say, "Well, I can run 10,000 miles without stopping" and suddenly the state average becomes 5 miles. I can tell it is a ridiculous load of crap just by reading that Alaskans can supposedly run only 58 meters. I lived there for a few years and trust me, they are some of the most outdoors-oriented people in the nation. Hiking is a way of life up there. They laugh at the switchbacks we have in the lower 48 states. Their trails go straight up the mountain. It takes a special type of person to live where the high for the day might be -25F.

I think they meant to say they can only run 58 meters before they are eaten by a bear. It was taken out of context.

And there is no way an Alaskan (or any American) would state their distance in meters. Nobody in my family, not one single person, could tell you how far 58 meters was. About a mile, right?
What does this mean? I mean, yes, 400m is more than 58m but it is still not a distance I would brag about. I would hope that most people could make it at least a mile or two.
This quote is from the original article. I am no math major but does anyone else see the mistake the journalist (and editor) made? 30% of 50% + 22% of 50% does not equal 50%. Or am I crazy?
"Nearly half of Texans think shopping counts as exercise. Women seem more likely to let their wallet do the walking with 30 percent saying shopping is exercise, compared to 22 percent of men."

That wasn't about making it that was about being one of the best in the world at it. All out of Cali high schools.

Probably didn't have the same number of men and women answer the poll question.

Assuming they're both 50% of the same figure, the total would be 26%.
Why is anyone surprised by this? Americans fight for a parking spot as close to an entrance as possible. Americans drive two blocks to visit their neighbor. Americans make long lines at fast food restaurants. Americans as a whole are the laziest humans on the planet. It’s the true epidemic that no one wants to address. Why? Because it makes big ag, big pharma, and big med a lot of money. Along with big “health.” Buy this exercise “system” and get “fit.” It’s all bs though to sell sell sell. How about eat non processed food and move as much as you can throughout the day. That’s it for freakin sakes.The movie Wall-e though a kid fantasy movie is unfortunately reality.

But think... You could NEVER get to 50% even if 99% of your survey were women. Heck, if it were all women you get 30%! Think about it. Your idea makes no sense.
