Monday Motivation: Self-conscious about Nordic walking?

Don't be.

You're doing something for yourself that has clear and proven benefits. Who knows. You might actually influence other people. I Nordic walk in my neighborhood. At first, I was self-conscious, but over time I lost that feeling, and Nordic walking became just another thing I did. 

After a while, I saw a fellow walking with 2 poles. I said hello and asked him about it. He said he'd seen me walking, and it looked like it made sense, so he decided to try it.

Start a movement in your neighborhood.
