Sanna-Kaisa Palo reveals: One way to keep her in shape

Finnish actress Sanna-Kaisa Palo shares her fitness secret: constant walking, along with spending time with her grandchildren.

Sanna-Kaisa Palo, a 65-year-old Finnish actress, attended the Jussi Gala recently. During the event, Iltalehti journalist Ismo Puljujärvi noted having seen her in a short film where she portrayed a Nordic walker. This prompted questions about how Palo maintains her fitness and vitality. Palo disclosed that there is no special secret to her good health; it primarily involves consistent walking and engaging with her grandchildren, of whom she has seven or eight, along with some non-biological grandchildren. The youngest is three, and the oldest is 21, providing a comprehensive range of activities that keep her active.

In addition to her fitness routine, Palo briefly addressed the challenges faced by the cultural sector, particularly highlighting the stigma that used to exist around actors discussing their unemployment openly. She appreciates the more open dialogue in today’s context, contrasting it with a past where actors felt a significant sense of shame if they didn't have consistent work. This change in attitude signifies a cultural shift in the acceptance of discussions related to job security within the arts, showcasing the evolving nature of the profession in Finland.

As an actress, Palo's reflections not only offer personal insights into sustainable health practices but also shed light on broader issues affecting the performing arts in Finland. Her candidness about her routine might inspire others to prioritize active lifestyles, and her observations on the industry's challenges encourage a supportive community for artists facing unemployment.
