Facebook Data Says These Are America's Fittest Cities

El Paso, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Albuquerque are among America's 10 fittest cities, according to Facebook data.

They're joined by Colorado Springs, Virginia Beach, Portland, Tacoma, Austin, and Livingston, N.J. Facebook came up with this list by tracking fitness-related comments and updates, check-ins and app usage over the past three months in cities where at least 200,000 people use the world's largest social network.

Facebook also analyzed mentions of specific fitness-related activities to see what's popular in various cities. According to the data, people in Oakland like to get down as America's most dance-crazed city, San Diego has the most marathoners and folks in Austin are pretty obsessed with yoga.

More of Facebook's findings are presented in the following infographic. Check it out for yourself; then let us know how well you think this social data reflects real life in the comments, below.
