Balance. It’s not something we think about in our youth; just one of many natural attributes that we take for granted. Nor one that we consider in midlife, when we might be concerned instead with greying hair, rising blood pressure or a thickening waistline. But that’s where too many of us are wrong. In midlife, […]

After losing several stone in weight I wanted to maintain my weight loss. I have never particularly enjoyed exercise regimes but enjoy walking. I was looking for a local walking group and Faith Jones responded suggesting that I try Nordic Walking. It has been a revelation to me. I enjoy the group walks and solo walking so much more with my poles. Faith has a really encouraging and friendly approach mixing walking, exercising and some yoga in to the sessions. The walks are sociable and always end up with a cuppa. I feel so much fitter now and much more confident about my strength and stamina. I highly recommend Faith's sessions."
Loved 😍 the session yesterday. It was such a beautiful day and it was great to see some different scenery. I took things easier this week as my hip was a bit painful and I was worried about my Achilles’ tendon after our parkrun /walk on Saturday.
But all was fine.No twinges at all.Those stretches really worked!
