| Enjoying an evening Nordic Walk in Bushy Park |
Well, now that August's here, the weather is becoming less 'summery', or perhaps we should remember that the odd shower is typical. This week, a Nordic Walking group sheltered from the rain during the warm-up and warm-down exercises, but the rain held off during the varied walk. We walked in two parks, and at one point, were about 100 yards from the busy Kingston Bridge. However, despite that, we saw no other walkers for the last 30 minutes of the route. Peace, tranquility and.... Exercise!

We also get close to nature -

| A Red deer stag, still with the velvet-covered antlers. |
In case it looks as if we get too close to the deer, this stag approached us, and continued eating, so we just stopped for a drink and took in the scene. He was very relaxed.
Studies have shown that all the elements of Nordic Walking - exercise; the outdoors; nature; and convivial company - contribute to a healthier lifestyle. Lowered blood pressure, toned muscles, less stress, etc, - all can be by-products of Nordic Walking.
My next group session is on Saturday 14th August in Bushy Park, followed at 11am by a 'taster' session (£5) for those wanting an introduction to the activity.
Please get in touch for more details.
