Three months ago, Michigan sports betting and Wolverines fans were celebrating a college football National Championship. A wildly disappointing Michigan college basketball season followed.
So, now it is time to move on from both and seek other diversions. How about some exercise? After all, National Exercise Day is April 18.
BetMichigan.com – your source for online Michigan casinos - was curious to see which states were most actively searching for exercise recommendations. We used Google Trends and searched for “best exercises.” We then used a list of the most popular gym exercises for men and women in 2024, according to StrengthLog.com, and found which ones are the top five most frequently searched in Michigan.
The search period was for 24 hours on April 8. Here are the results:
Michigan, No. 1 in college football, was top 10 in exercise, completing our list in the 10th position.
Two of the four Michigan border states also finished in the top 10: Indiana (77) was No. 3 and Wisconsin (62) finished seventh.
Alabama, which lost to Michigan in this year’s College Football Playoff semifinals, topped the list with a score of 100. Washington (70), which lost the title game to Michigan, 34-13, placed sixth.
All that college football talk sends me to Caesars Sports Michigan, which gives the Wolverines +2000 odds to repeat, eighth overall. Georgia, at +300, is the favorite.
Back to exercise.
Squat topped the list at No. 1 with a search interest score of 46. Bench press (28) was second and leg press (24) was a close third. Deadlift (20) and pulldown (9) completed the top five rankings.
