Nordic walking schedule
It’s cool this fall, and Nordic
walking is the cool thing to do! Come out for some Nordic walking, a fun
and effective way to exercise. It’s also a great social activity because you
can walk with other people and enjoy their company.
Dress for the weather and sun and bring some
water. I'll bring the Nordic walking poles so you can burn calories, tone
muscle, and improve overall health.
For more information about Nordic walking,
check out the Nordic Walking
Guy blog and the Facebook page.
Are you a beginner and never Nordic walked?
Don't worry. I'll take time to teach the technique so you can get started.
Come out on these dates:
