Hi,
A recent study (see link, below, for details) has concluded that walking by the sea makes you feel good! For those of us who do it regularly, that's no real surprise.

However, if you Nordic Walk by the sea, you not only feel good, but you are also improving your fitness and health!
As you can see from these photos, taken around Stanley, our Nordic Walking sessions combine stunning scenery, with wildlife watching, with gradual fitness programmes.

| It's not always windy! |
Nordic Walking uses 90% of the body's muscles, so giving you an all-over work-out. Little-used muscles are toned up, reducing any flab that may have developed over time.

And it's a simple matter of walking faster or up slopes to have an aerobic session, giving you a great cardio-vascular exercise!

But one of the biggest advantages is that it all takes place OUTDOORS! So no staring at gym walls or boring TV pictures. Get outside and see what the Falklands has to offer. We've seen penguins, seals and dolphins during recent walks.

If you want to try Nordic Walking and enjoy the local scenery, please give me a call, on 21178.
