Bedeutung
Maintaining fitness.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Søndagstur' (Sunday walk) is a national institution. Even if people don't go to the gym, they 'holde seg i form' by walking in the woods or mountains every Sunday. Workplace fitness is common. Many offices have their own 'bedriftsidrettslag' (company sports teams) to help employees stay in shape. The concept of 'Dørstokkmila' (the doorstep mile) refers to the struggle of getting out the door to exercise and 'holde seg i form'. In the age of social media, 'å holde seg i form' is often linked to the 'fitsporation' trend, though in Norway it remains more focused on health and nature.
