Week commencing 3rd October, 2016

Nordic Walks week commencing 3rd October, 2016

Hi Nordic Walkers,
October already!  I love this time of year as it is so much easier walking in cooler conditions and also what a treat to witness the changing tree colours each week.  So much better than a stuffy Gym!
October brings us back into routines as well; so if you’ve had a lot of distractions over the summer and have missed a lot of walks, why not get back into it now and give yourself a Christmas Health and Fitness goal!  I’m here if you have any questions or if you want to do one to one sessions before coming back to the groups.  Yay!

MOD PLUS NEW TIMES & DURATIONS 
The new time for these classes every week is 8:45am Tuesdays and 9:15amSaturdays and will be of 45 minutes duration.  For those walkers training for races, or who wish to up their speeds, please let me know as I will arrange regular time trials along Alameda and areas in Ampthill Park.

NORDIC WALKING CLASS COSTS:
All evening classes – £5
Moderate & Gentle Plus – £5 or £4 if you have your own Poles
Moderate Plus & Gentle – £5
Long Distance and Pop Up walks costs dependent on Distance.
Private Sessions: £12.50

Speed Grading Key:
1 = Moderate Plus (for the faster Nordic Walker, optional Hill running)
2 = Moderate (yet challenging)
3 = Gentle Plus (smidge slower than Moderate yet invigorating)
4 = Gentle (marginally slower than G+ class but energizing)
5 = HIT Nordic (Nothing but Hills. Tough and exhilarating!)
BOOKING ESSENTIAL FOR ALL CLASSES MARKED BOLD BY 8PM THE NIGHT BEFORE THE MORNING WALKS & 12PM THE DAY OF THE EVENING WALKS. THANKS.
