All is not well here in the Emerald City or anywhere else for that matter. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined in a study that 85 percent of Seattle residents said they'd exercised at least once in the past month, which was the best of the surveyed cities by Men's Fitness. Well, that ain't good. Nope, it is not, agrees the CDC, which reports that "more than 53 percent of Seattle residents are at increased risk for health problems because they weigh too much." Poor, poor Houston.
