Nearly two-thirds of Minnesotans (61 percent) who have two or more community features to help them be physically active – such as sidewalks, parks and trails – report exercising three or more days a week, which is significantly more than those (42 percent) who have fewer community features, according to a new poll commissioned by the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota. The findings illustrate the vital role that communities can play in helping people more easily make physical activity a part of their daily lives. The poll also found 76 percent of Minnesotans agree or strongly agree that the way a community is built has an effect on how much physical activity people get, while only four percent disagree or strongly disagree. Twenty percent of those polled are uncertain.
