This morning Julie kindly came to meet me at Bolam Lake for a 1:1 first session of Nordic walking.
I need to get fit and be more active and heard about Nordic Walking some time ago on the BBC radio 4 programme with the late Dr Michael Mosely. It has been in the background of my mind for a while, but now, I am making time for myself and today was the start!
What a fantastic, informative and fun session it was.
Julie settled my nerves and really put me at ease as she taught me the fundamentals of Nordic Walking, helping my to find a rhythm and technique.
I was on a positive high afterwards!
I know that this is just what I want to add to my life and I look forward to future walks with Julie and others around the region.
I was very impressed with Julie. She is a kind person and natural teacher and her passion shines through and is infectious!
I will be Nordic Walking on my own until I join an adventure with Julie and others on the next group walk. I very much look forward to that.
Thanks so much Julie. x
