Good news for Gem State residents when it comes to how health we are as a state.  Did you know that Idaho is second most healthiest state in America?  It looks like all the outside activities are really paying for Gem Staters.  US News recently reported the top ten states where people get the most exercise.  Idaho was almost at the top of the list trailing only our Western sister state of Colorado who was number one.

Working men were the largest group who found time to exercise weekly.  Over thirty six percent of them followed by nonworking men at just under thirty five percent were ardent exercisers.  Only five states in the entire nation had more physically active women than Idaho's.
