What Drives Me & Does This Resonate With Yoy ?

When I was in my mid 50’s I realised two key things 1) that my fitness levels had really fallen away and 2) the only circle of friends that I really had were work colleagues. With one eye on the future and aware that my working life was in its latter phases I decided to take up an outdoor activity but I really wanted something that had a social community aspect to it. By serendipity I came across Nordic Walking. 

I get bored with conventional exercise like running, or going to the gym. I like to be exercising but also be able to discuss say the issues of the day or professional sport. I find it keeps me going longer if I'm enjoying what I'm doing and not thinking of it as some form of necessary torture! So, I started with a Nordic Walking group in Chichester and discovered so many stunning walks from the beaches of the Witterings to the rolling scenery of the South Downs. Having lived in West Sussex for some 15 years I could not believe how much I hadn’t seen (spent far too much time driving from A to B). I enjoyed Nordic Walking experience so much that I then trained to be both an Instructor and Walk Leader. The most amazing thing is the diverse group of friends that I have found and a true supportive community. It is too good to keep secret so I now have my own business, come and try it - let's find something you love that gets you moving!

First thing is sign up for a free “Sampler Session”. Here you can just have a go and see if Nordic Walking is something you would like to learn more about. If that’s the case then then next step is to get trained via my “Basic Techniques” session that takes just 1.5 hours. With the training out of the way we can start the adventure of walking with a group, making new friends and enjoying a healthier life.
