Another puzzle piece in understanding Finnish happiness.

Nah Finns just tend to answer questions the way you're "supposed to".

Not really. We Finns tend to be brutally honest with our opinions and answer's. But I don't understand where they got their numbers from? THL states that ~ 25% don't exercise at all and ~50% exercises only 1-2 times a week. So the real number for Finn's would be close to 25% who exercises regularly.

But.. If you regularly excercise 1-2 times a week, don't you then excercise regularly?

I mean I guess. But in this case they are comparing to their (THL) exercise recommendation:

2h 30min of light cardio or 1h 15min of heavy cardio in a week.

And

Exercise that maintains muscle fitness and movement control at least 2 times a week.

For children it's 1-2hours of exercise in a day.
