You will see many people 'menossa urheilemaan' around 4:30 PM. The distinction between 'liikunta' (movement) and 'urheilu' (sport) is subtle. 'Urheilu' sounds more active and sweaty. In Finland, it is perfectly acceptable to decline a social invitation because you are 'menossa urheilemaan'. Health is a valid priority.
