Top California City for Exercise: Oakland?

biking oakland Top California City for Exercise: Oakland?

It’s June…the month for moving residencies–but also for moving, period. In honor of all things exercise, we took a look at a recent survey conducted by Men’s Health, who ranked 100 American cities from most to least active, by analyzing local habits in each area, including amount of exercise at home and at gyms, TV watching, video game popularity, as well as CDC data. You might be a little surprised to know that the Golden State’s awesome year-round weather has apparently not turned Californians into hyperactive, spandex and pedometer-wearing workout fiends.
In fact, only one California city made the Top 10…and we gotta be honest… we were surprised! Oakland? We knew the city was “the Brooklyn of the West” with an active social scene, but we had no idea it was active in terms of raising a new generation of joggers, cyclists and Ironmans! Bravo!

Image
  In essence, homeowners insurance is the type of property insurance that covers damages and losses to your residence along with the furnishings and other assets found at home. Homeowners insurance also provides liability protection against accidents that occur in your home or on your property.   A typical  home insurance policy  covers four kinds of incidents on your insured property: exterior damage, interior damage, personal belongings/assets, and any injury that occurs while on your property. When you make a claim on any of the incidents mentioned, you will be required to pay a deductible.   Basically, the higher the deductible on your insurance contract, the lower the annual or monthly premium will be. While home insurance policies seem straightforward, there is more to it than meets the eye.   That said, if it is your first time to purchase a home insurance policy, you must have a clear understanding of how it works and how you can maximize all the be...
