Fact of the day
Physical exercise is good for health. A Eurobarometer survey published in November 2006 showed that 64% of people in the EU engaged in some sort of physical activity in an average week. Top of the list was Finland, where 83% of those polled said they were involved in physical effort via recreational, sports or leisure-time activities. The Finns were followed by the Dutch, with 79%, and the Lithuanians, with 78%.
