Nordic Walking - wrap up warm!

Winter is here!   Enjoy it!

As temperatures plummet in the UK, there are few better activities than Nordic Walking to enhance the enjoyment of your exercise.  Despite the chill, Nordic Walkers know they will warm up in minutes, as almost every muscle in their body is working to propel them forward.

A crisp morning in Richmond Park
 On a sunny morning, it is quite invigorating to stride around the beautiful parks and countryside available to us.  Forget for a while the news of stuck trains and traffic jams.  Breathe in the crisp air, and feel the blood pumping around your body.

Almost everyone, from teenagers to pensioners, can enjoy Nordic Walking.  It can help you recover from an operation more quickly, or to get you fit for the ski-ing season, or simply to enjoy an energetic walk with friends.

Skaters at Hampton Court Palace
I, with colleagues, lead walks in the Teddington, Kingston and Richmond area of south-west London, and further afield.  Places like Hampton Court Palace and Bushy Park feature on our walks.

Braving the elements!

Nordic Walkers, Bushy Park
This week has seen some very cold conditions.  Please do remember to wear several warm layers of clothes, as well as a hat and gloves.  A scarf is very useful for regulating your body's temperature.

But once you've conquered the conditions, and are feeling pleased with your efforts, there's usually time to relax over a warm drink.......



Feel the glow!  Contact me if you want to enjoy Nordic Walking,
