Windsor Nordic Walking

Today’s Nordic walk highlights included the rapidly blooming Punchbowl, the pocket handkerchief tree (Davidii Involucrata) and the beautiful bluebells. ☀️ ❣️

Spring is definitely springing 🌺🌸🌼 Our Wednesday walks are really rewarding our mind body and spirit 🌺🌼🌸

Our Wednesday walk found some hopeful signs of spring. Difficult to imagine the colours of the Punch Bowl in just a few weeks time.

The Punchbowl is coming along nicely

All of this in a beautiful walk with friends 😀

Did you know 💬 Nordic walking can lower blood pressure and resting heart rate while improving quality of life.

A review of 16 clinical trials found that Nordic walking improves oxygen uptake, blood pressure, exercise capacity, and HR at rest.

Even outperforming brisk walking in many areas! 🏆

It's a proven form of preventative health that fits into everyday life:

🦯 Easy to start
💜 Protective for the heart
💪 Helps with endurance
🙂 Boosts wellbeing

It’s also shown to improve life quality for people managing conditions like hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and coronary artery disease.

We often have to repeat that it’s not walks but WALX with an X so when we saw this in the midsummer sky we thought it was worth a share! WALX are walks that give you a little Xtra with every step - happy summer solstice folks!

So very sad, my thoughts are with Clare and family 💔❤️

No stranger to our pages or our instructors and walkers, we have often featured the brilliant, thought provoking and life changing Dr Michael Mosley.

Today we are thinking of all his family, friends and loved ones as they face a future without this amazing man.

With huge respect, may you rest in peace Dr Mosley 💜
