Bustin' A Few Zumba Moves > Mesa #33 in 2016’s Best and Worst Cities for an Active Lifestyle


Warning: Today is Fun Day for yours truly -  just to show you what's fair game when social media selfie-posing is used so much by City of Mesa elected and appointed officials.
On an earlier post on this site from December 10, 2015 with drowsy-eyed Mesa City Manager Chris Brady and Mayor John Giles in a suit-and-tie playing BFF Wannabe Sportscaster Bros at The Wonderland Skating Rink. Maybe they are looking to find new jobs and launch their on-air talents in broadcasting and TVland via city-owned Channel 11?
Why get comic now? That's a question you, dear readers might be asking.
Sometimes "comic activism" is a more effective tool than political activism [John Stewart, Bill Maher, and John Oliver for example].
The website Wallet Hub  has recent published
2016’s Best and Worst Cities for an Active Lifestyle
Mesa rated #33 overall and #45 for Sports Facilities and Outdoor Environment
WalletHub’s analysts compared the 100 most populated cities based on 24 key metrics to identify those that help their residents stick to their health goals. The data set ranges from the average monthly fitness club fee to the number of sports clubs per capita.
Since we weren't all saints over the holidays and as we struggle to forgive ourselves for that last holiday binge of 2015, grocery stores are already tempting us with Valentine’s Day sweets — and it’s only the first week of the new year. Those who’ve ever traveled during the holidays also know how tough it can be to squeeze in an exercise routine, let alone some cardio.
Looking for forgiveness and redemption now [as we all might or not be] here's a flashback to a time not so long ago - last year with Mayor John Giles all-tricked-out in Spandex at the center of attention  to publicize a campaign for fitness and wellness, with a free breakfast.
Look for City Manager Chris Brady busting' Zumba moves in the group . . . have fun.
