Some you can’t travel to at the moment, but some are very close by!

People across the globe had to get creative over the pandemic without having access to regular gym equipment. They chose to take a walk or run outside, dusted off that bike sitting in their garage or chose to do other ‘green’ fitness activities. Green fitness activities are categorized as activities that don’t use electricity and are often performed out-of-doors, like walking or yoga.

Reebok found the ten best cities to enjoy green fitness, measuring the percent of the population that uses bikes as their main mode of transportation, counting the number of hiking and running trails in the city and calculating the number of sunlight hours they receive each year to determine the cities you’ll see on this list. Each city is walkable and many also belong to some of the greenest countries in the world.
