Promoting everyday exercise
Marjo Rantala started as the director of the City of Porvoo Sports Services in February 2024. She encourages everyday exercise and learning an active lifestyle at one's own pace.
In her work, Rantala is responsible for the operations of her unit, the sports services and facilities in Porvoo, the competence of personnel, the implementation of Porvoo’s own movement guidelines, and cross-administrative cooperation, among other things.
“I also influence the consideration of exercise and movement in, for example, urban planning,” Rantala describes.
Rantala reminds us that well-being and health can be promoted without membership in a sports club.
“I’m not an avid exerciser myself either, but I often walk and engage in utility exercise. I always choose the stairs instead of the elevator, for example.”
