Health and Fitness
We Finns love sports. That may because Finland seems made for sports of all kinds. You can swim and sail in the lakes and sea, ski on thousands of kilometers of trails. Walking in the forest, it's not only good for your body, it's also good for your soul.
Have you ever come across someone walking and briskly swinging ski poles? It's not winter and there's no snow. And he seems to have forgotten his skis. No, he's not crazy. Nordic Walking was developed in Finland in the 1980s and now it is popular among Finns of all ages.
Finnish Sports and Leisure Centers offer many ways to take part in sports of all sorts. They can plan the same kind of training program for you as Formula 1 drivers have when they come to Finland to prepare for the next world class event.
