//OROGOLD Cosmetics Reviews the Most Fit Cities Around the World – OROGOLD Review

So what is it that makes any city great? Is it the activities that it has to offer, the party scene, the culture, the sights and attractions, the adventure, or the night life? Is it the greenery and pollution levels or is it the presence of modern day luxuries? You might find people contemplating on all sorts of things while choosing a city that they would shift to, but how often do you hear people talking about the fitness levels of the people in a city? Although you rarely hear people talk about fitness, it is quickly becoming one of the make or break factors in people choosing one city over the other. And this is particularly the case for people who love their skin and love their health. For all such fitness, skin and health freaks, here is a list of some of the cities that you would love to live in, or at least travel too.

Copenhagen, Denmark

The people of Copenhagen are simply obsessed with walking. In fact, almost 80% of the traffic in the city center is on foot. According to estimates, almost one-thirds of all official trips are carried out on bikes. The city offers an excellent bike program for its residents as well as tourists and with more than 300kms of dedicated bike lanes to choose from, bicycling in Copenhagen is like a dream come true. The city might not enjoy a temperate weather all round the year, but it makes the most of what it has by enjoying the freeze in mammoth ice skating rinks.
