May blossoms and births

Nordic Walkers have recently enjoyed the copious tree blossoms, and the sight of much new birdlife.

As a bonus to the regular exercise that Nordic Walkers enjoy, Spring has provided a beautiful backdrop to many walks.  It is the sights and sounds that people experience that makes Nordic Walking so rewarding.

I was also lucky enough to have a short break on the Island of Arran in Scotland recently.  Arran is ideal for outdoor activity, especially walking and my Nordic Walking poles helped me achieve new heights.

You can also see a great deal of wildlife on Arran - some of it behaving a bit unusually.  I had heard of badgers killing hens (there are no foxes), and in Lochranza deer sometimes can be seen cooling off in the sea.

Wherever or whenever you wish to exercise, Nordic Walking can be suitable for you.  It is an all-over workout, ideal for improving fitness, or providing a healthier walk.

Enjoying the sights and sounds of Spring just add an extra bonus to your exercise.  For more details of walks in the Borough of Richmond area, please phone or email me,

    You'll get more results doing compound exercises because they stimulate more muscle growth. When you do deadlifts, your body probably has to use the vast majority of the muscles to do one rep.
