In case you're interested: A short Kindle book about Nordic walking. It uses a specific approach to teaching Nordic walking.

Poles

Available at Amazon: The rounded tip with these poles can help with the push-off that's part of the Nordic walking stride, but the wrist straps are conventional. That makes it harder to get full extension by letting go of the poles.

A friendly reminder about Nordic walking in Tuscaloosa this Saturday!

I didn’t know that Scarlet Johansson, Ben Stiller, and Adam Sandler are Nordic walking fans. Do I know who they are? Do I care? But I do care about helping you grow in Nordic walking!

<image008.jpg>And since I have your attention, here’s a friendly reminder about another Nordic walking session. Come to the gym of First Baptist Church Tuscaloosa and learn about 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.

We’ll be indoors, so dress comfortably. We’ll practice with Nordic walking poles to burn calories, tone muscle, and improve overall health. This will be a free session. For more information about Nordic walking, check out the Nordic Walking Guy blog and the Facebook page.

If the weather permits, we’ll go outside to Government Plaza and walk there. As the weather gets better, we’ll go to other venues to practice and enjoy each other’s company. 

Instructor: Leroy Hurt, Associate Dean at The University of Alabama and a certified Nordic walking instructor
