Confidence has a knock-on effect.
But what about the lions? I have many ‘lions’ who have come to me for Nordic Walking.
They all have courage to try something new and they all agreed that Nordic Walking has given them something new – CONFIDENCE.
* Lion 1 is totally blind and has been attending sessions for six years. I wear bells on my wrist

and she follows them.

They even use their poles on trips to the shopping centres.
* Lions 8, 9+10 are recovering from Strokes. Introduced at a convenient time of rehabilitation the poles assist with balance when walking and the bi-lateral action is helpful in stimulating brain processes.
All my ‘lions’ will agree that Nordic Walking is not a miracle cure for anything but the CONFIDENCE

All my ‘lions’ will agree that Nordic Walking is not a miracle cure for anything but the CONFIDENCE
it gives when walking also transfers to everyday life.
In all cases Nordic Walking has improved the quality of life.
Best wishes. The Wizard (Guru).
