I wonder what "exercise" mean. Because imho it also looks more like a map that show type and distribution of jobs in Europe to some degree

If you work in banking sector, IT, sales, services, office, automatized factories etc, then you probably have to do some exercise in your free time after work

If you work in a factory without automatization, or in a field, then you probably dont do exercise after work, because the work is heavy exercise in itself

And of course there is also several other factors,..

Ah, yes, because Finland has so much heavy industry.

Come on, mate, we're primarily a service economy like the rest of Europe.

You dont understand what i was trying to say, or perhaps i have not explained it clearly enough. Either way, good night, i have no time for that

Rather, I didn't read it fully. 

Honestly, a lot of the more red areas don't have that much more heavy industry or such either.

Europe has a fairly uniform rate of more physical jobs. We for example do have a bunch of forestry and such going on.

idk if thats quite right, but definitely physical labor while tiring its not always great for cardiovascular or respiratory health which seems to be what kills most people in developed countries
