The “Adult Exercise Hour” (Aikuisten Liikuntatunti in Finnish) initiative, launched in Finland by Tagomo Agency, represents a groundbreaking approach to increase the physical inactivity among adults, particularly within the workforce, by allowing them to use one hour of their work time per week to any kind of physical activity. At its core, this initiative seeks to integrate structured physical activity into the workday, thereby promoting health, enhancing productivity, and reducing the societal and economic burdens associated with sedentary lifestyles.
The project underscores the importance of regular exercise, aiming to foster a culture where movement is seamlessly woven into the fabric of daily work life. By encouraging companies across Finland to allocate one hour during the workweek for employees to engage in physical activity, the initiative sets a new standard for workplace wellness and employee well-being.
