Week commencing 29th January, 2017

Nordic Walking week commencing 30th January, 2017

Hi Nordic Walkers,

We have some Newbie’s who’ve just completed the Fast Track Technique course plus two other who have finished their private sessions, they are:  Steve, David F, David S, Margaret, Carmen, Joyce, Sian, Jill, June, John, Frank & Sara.  Well done to all of you!  We look forward to seeing you all out there for some great walks.

For those of you who are new to Walk2Fitness, each week you will get this email which lets you know what walks are taking place that following week.  There is a grading system so you can join the classes most suited to your speed. If you are in any doubt, just let me know.  All walks that are marked in bold are Booking classes. so just drop me a text or email to let me know you’re wishing to attend. This needs to be done by 8pm the evening before the walk. Thanks.

I will send out an email too if I have to cancel a class due to bad weather so please check before you leave to see if there are any changes.  You can also view all the walks on the website which Gordon keeps updated: www.walk2fitness.co.uk  The very latest info will be across the top in a banner on the Home page of the website.

As the weather improves we will be doing more long distance and pub/picnic walks so look out for those as they are always great fun and a challenge.  We also do some fun Charity walks each year.

NEW FAST TRACK BEGINNERS COURSE THIS SATURDAY 4TH FEBRUARY
Please let your friends and family know I have places left on the new course beginning this weekend.  Thanks Guys.

FIT FEBRUARY
I always step up my fitness and health habits in February starting with my diet.  January is tough because there’s so many naughty treats left over from Christmas, so February has always been the key month to begin for me.  Why don’t you join me and start better healthier eating habits now.  I will be asking Walkers to send me great recipes to share and though we will always have our cake on Birthdays, the rest of the time we can stay focussed!   Step up the walks too, either with me or by yourself.  Just upping it by one more walk a week will make a great difference.
