Hi, My name is Anne and I love to Nordic walk! I invite you to join me as I walk around the paths and trails of Barrhaven and South Nepean. Come and join the group as we try out some of the beautiful trails available just a few kilometres from Barrhaven. Not only is it fun to walk and chat, but there is safety in numbers! Experience Urban Poling and see what all the buzz is about. | As someone with years of chronic back pain due to Degenerative Disk Disease and Spinal Stenosis, I was thrilled to discover Nordic Walking, or Urban Poling, to be a pain free way to exercise and stay fit. After only a couple of sessions I was totally hooked!
I have always been active in skiing, snowshoeing, biking, golf and a variety of other outdoor activities, but as my episodes of back pain became more frequent and more severe, I found I was being limited in what I could do. Having been a regular "walker" for many years, it was often the only form of exercise that did not cause pain.
Urban poling has made walking a new and exciting activity. By using poles I increase my level of workout by at least 20%. By varying the terrain and the speed of the walk, I can make the workout as gentle or as intense as I wish. |
