It's not easy to step up your diet and exercise routine -- and having a Cinnabon on every corner sure doesn't help.
To find the best metros for getting fit, MONEY and Trulia crunched some health-centric data, looking for places with easy access to nutritious food, dietary advice, and plenty of exercise options.
East Coast vs. West Coast
Two of the nation's healthiest metro areas face off.
| Fairfield County, Conn. | San Francisco | |
|---|---|---|
| Gyms and fitness centers per 10,000 households | 5.3 | 3.8 |
| Diet and weight loss centers per 10,000 households | 0.36 | 0.28 |
| Ratio of "slow food" to fast-food restaurants | 1.41 | 1.6 |
| Percent of population who walk or bike to work | 3% | 9.2% |
| Median home price | $470,000 | $829,000 |
| Increase in asking price (2012 to 2013) | 9.8% | 15.2% |
| For-sale homes affordable to the middle class | 36% | 14% |
| Median square feet for affordable home | 1,317 | 1,000 |
