\"Colorado
Colorado ranked third in healthy habits, including tracking length, frequency and type of exercise, in a recent study by smartphone apps MyFitnessPal and MapMyFitness. While members may not be tracking their exercise on an app, Upper Pine Fire Protection District added a fitness room to help keep its firefighters and emergency-services personnel fit.<\/span>Pine River Times file photo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Because Colorado ranks high among states for physical fitness and health, it seems like a no-brainer that it would rank high on healthy habits.<\/p>\n

And that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s exactly what two smartphone apps found when they analyzed the 50 states on their metrics.<\/p>\n

MyFitnessPal calculated the number of people using its app in each state who: stayed within 10 percent of their daily calories goals; met or exceeded their daily fiber goals; and stayed at or below their daily sugar and sodium goals.<\/p>\n

MapMyFitness factored in the length, frequency and type of exercise logged in each state.<\/p>\n

Colorado came in third, after California and Arizona. Seven of the top 10 states were in the West.<\/p>\n

The states with the unhealthiest habits were Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota.<\/p>\n

In an interesting twist, West Virginia, which was ranked the most obese state by Better Policies for a Healthy America, was most likely to stick to calorie goals once set.<\/p>\n
