Hi,
Despite the weather, Nordic Walking has continued through the Falklands winter. Walkers have enjoyed improving their fitness while striding through the frost and snow.

In the dunes around Yorke Bay, the sand has been frozen a few times, which actually makes walking easier! An added bonus has been watching a growing group of Gentoo penguins arriving on the beach.

Nordic Walking is an ideal exercise, no matter your fitness level. Whether for short walks along a beach or for fast uphill work, the poles mean your upper body and cardiovascular system can have a good workout. How hard you work is up to you!

Arm, shoulder and back muscles are brought into use, especially going uphill. And it is simple to adjust the speed to exercise your heart and lungs.
Going downhill, even in snow, is very stable with the extra balance that the poles provide.

So, if you want to enjoy the scenery around Stanley AND get fitter, why not try Nordic Walking?
