Even when times are tough, not everyone is exactly living up to the vigorous, enterprising stereotype of rugged American individualism.
Put more bluntly, some people are just lazy. They watch too much TV; they don't exercise; they let themselves slip from being overweight to obese. Surely, that's not going to help us get out of the recession.
Those are problems across the country, but we found the places where people really need to get off the couch: the 25 Laziest Cities in America.
We made the list by analyzing three metrics: self-reported obesity and physical activity rates (from the Centers for Disease Control) and TV viewership (from Nielsen). The scores were then normalized and combined to rank the worst cities.
