Nordic Walking                                                         What is Nordic Walking? Nordic Walking began as a summer training exercise for serious "cross country" skiers. Fitness walkers in Europe adopted Nordic Walking as a time-efficient, low-stress, total body workout. Today, approximately 500,000 people in Finland enjoy Nordic Walking regularly, and it is spreading in popularity throughout Scandinavia. Nordic Walking’s popularity is growing with walking clubs and instructors leading classes across the United States.   NORDIC WALKING BENEFITS: Just a few of the reasons increasing numbers of people are taking up nordic walking: Burns up to 40% more calories over regular walking. Pumps up your cardio by increasing oxygen consumption up to 25%. Provides a full-body workout that tones upper body, legs, and glutes. Reduces impact stress on knees and lower joints, and heel strike force by 30%.

BreathFit

Although breathing is a completely unconscious process, it can become a conscious, intentional practice. Many teachings suggest that bringing consciousness to breathing is the link between the conscious and unconscious aspects of our being. The body-mind connection. That this action (of conscious breathing, combined with walking) is of great physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefit to the individual.

Upcoming breathing classes

Contact Judy at 503.282.1677 or judy@erofit.com to schedule a breathing appointment or to find out when the next BreathFit workshop will be held.
