Uganda is the fittest nation on earth

According to the World Health Organization, Uganda is the fittest nation in the world. In the country, only 5,5 percent of the population is not getting enough physical activity. According to this BBC article, while some in Uganda enjoy working out, it may simply be that some people are so poor so they can´t afford transport. It may be that people just have to walk to work instead of going by car.


But a very good representative of all the fit people in Uganda is marathon runner Stephen Kiprotich. He won the Olympic gold medal in the event at the 2012 Olympics in London.
