Engaging in regular exercise is easier when a person is surrounded by incentives to workout and by a variety of opportunities.

Whether a resident prefers working out alone or in a group — indoors or outdoors — certain cities in the U.S. offer more ways than others for residents to develop their levels of fitness.

In January, the website WalletHub analyzed municipalities across the country to determine which were the most conducive to an active lifestyle. Analysts took into consideration 35 key indicators, including the average local fitness club fee per month, the number of community sports fields and complexes, the city’s walkability, the number of bike trails and even the air quality. Among other conclusions, they found that, as analyst Chip Lupo noted, “The top cities for an active lifestyle have populations that are highly interested in exercise, which helps people find workout partners and stay motivated.”

          The Top 10 U.S. cities for those who prefer an active lifestyle are:

1. Honolulu, Hawaii
2. New York, N.Y.
3. San Francisco, Calif.
4. Las Vegas, Nev.
5. Chicago, Ill.
6. Los Angeles, Calif.
7. Denver, Colo.
8. San Diego, Calif.
9. Philadelphia, Pa.
10. Cincinnati, Ohio
