Men's Fitness to visit Houston

031306_fat.jpgMen's Fitness maagzine, which ranked Houston No. 5 on its list of America's fattest cities, will visit Houston this weekend as part of a 10-stop tour of the country's fittest and fattest cities. MF fitness experts will be on hand from 6 a.m. to noon Saturday at City Hall to offer diet and exercise tips and subject us to entice us with activities like a jumping jack contest. There'll also be chances to win gyn memberships and athletic gear — which, according to Men's Fitness, none of us will ever use.

The MF visit coincides with the Tour de Houston, a 20-, 40- and 70-mile bike ride benefiting the Houston Parks & Recreation Department. Registration is $25 in advance (register online here; the deadline is 11:59 p.m. Wednesday) or $35 on Saturday morning.
