White-out Work-outs....

Before the snow disappears, here are a couple of photos showing how our Nordic Walkers coped with the difficult conditions.


Although I wouldn't normally walk on ice, there was sufficient covering of snow last week to make it very enjoyable, and it demonstrated how we could have a work-out in white-out conditions.


Even though my water bottle froze in the car, keen walkers managed a brisk two-mile Nordic Walk along the Racecourse.
 The dry, still weather was ideal for steady, rhythmic Nordic Walking, and we were soon pausing to release heat from under jackets!  90% of our muscles were working!

Another great bonus was the superb view of the snow-covered hills.  Far better than sitting indoors!

If you wish to join us, keeping fit around Stanley, please get in touch.
