Hello and welcome back, I hope this finds you well. The press have reiterated this week how important Vitamin D is for our immune systems, so even more reason to spend as much time outside when the sun is shining. If you're not able to make the most of the sunshine, taking Vitamin D supplements might be advisable.
Today's focus is thinking about our posture and involves more stretching than rigorous exercise. From now on I have decided that Wednesday's exercise session will be more energetic and focus on strength building and Saturday's format will be more about stretching out the body, before a well earned rest for the weekend.
Posture is the foundation of our Nordic Walking and is integral to every part of the technique. Certainly for me good posture is a lifelong project which involves a constant readjustment. One of the key benefits of Nordic walking regularly is not only that it helps improve and strengthen all the muscles in my core and in turn improve my posture.

Individuals participate in these exercises at their own risk and must ensure they have adequate and non-slip floor space in which to participate and agree that they have no health concerns that prevent them from taking part. These exercises are designed to be carried out outside, however, if individuals perform the warm-up and cool-down sessions indoors there is a danger of collision with or damage to furniture, light fittings, etc. as well as potential for injury.
