NORDIC WALKING
WINTER ‘FUN’ GUIDED WALKS
It’s the Next Big Thing!”
Nordic Walking is excellent for people
who are looking for an outdoor sport,
which is easier on their joints and knees
than running. It began as a summer
training exercise for serious cross
country skiers. Fitness walkers in Europe
adopted Nordic Walking as a time efficient, low stress,
total body workout. Today, approximately 500,000 people in
Finland enjoy Nordic Walking regularly and it is spreading
in popularity throughout Scandinavia and North America.
Join Connie for a fun, guided walk. “Walk at a pace
comfortable to you.” Check the Nordic Walk Hotline
at 541-4387 for weather cancellations. Poles will be
provided.
Sunday, Feb. 3, 2:30-3:30 p.m.
Meet at Centennial Trail entrance near Lighthouse
Publishing
Sunday, Feb. 10, 2:30-3:30 p.m.
Meet at the M.A.R.C. parking lot in Dayspring
$2 (with own poles); $3 includes pole rental
Why Try Nordic Walking? With Nordic Walking, the
upper body uses 30% more energy compared to walking
and with proper technique, it strengthens abdominal and
back muscles. It doesn’t aggravate joints and knees and is
safe on slippery surfaces. You’ll also burn more calories
and enhance the cardio aspect of your “workout” without
walking faster or longer, and there’s the added benefit of
strengthening your upper body while creating resistance,
which will also help build better bone density. Nordic
Walking relieves neck and shoulder pain, improves neck
and chest mobility ... and enhances mood. “It’s a perfect
activity for all ages and fitness levels.!”
Nordic Walking is great for individuals who:
• have difficulty reaching their training heart rate by
walking
• Seek variety in their athletic training program
• Are ex-runners wanting to achieve the same intensity as
running, but without the high impact on the joints
• Need to increase caloric expenditure but have walking
speed limitations
• Need to lose weight for health benefits
• Need to put less stress on their joints
• Need motivation to increase their physical activity
• Are heart patients seeking a safe form of rehabilitation
• Need stability when walking
• Are older adults
• Have orthopedic problems
• Have balance problems
• Live in a climate where weather conditions are not optimal
(ice and snow)
“How Do I Get Started?”
With financial support from NS Health Promotion and
Protection, the Bridgewater Parks, Recreation and Culture
Department is offering a few “Introduction to Nordic
Walking Workshops” and Guided Walks this winter.
Equipment will be available for all sessions.
INTRO TO NORDIC WALKING
This workshop will cover the history, benefits, proper
technique and equipment required for Nordic Walking.
We will also get some “hands on” experience (warm-up,

walk.

BONE HEALTH INFORMATION SESSION
Osteoporosis is a disease which causes bones to become thin
and weak, making them more susceptible to breaks. Come
and learn about what you can do to prevent this illness,
or to improve your life if you already have osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis can be prevented. As well, early identification
and treatment can reduce the risk of broken bones. It
is estimated that 70% of all hip fractures are a result of
osteoporosis and this increases with age. Fractures in the
elderly have a huge impact on quality of life and often lead to
loss of independence.
The following topics will be discussed:
-What is Osteoporosis?
-What are my chances of getting Osteoporosis?
-How is Osteoporosis diagnosed?
-How to prevent Osteoporosis?
-What can I do if I already have Osteoporosis?
The session is for anyone interested in learning more about
prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Diet, exercise and
other lifestyle choices are the key to bone health.

clear, which enables me to have a better quality of
