Live Healthy By Walking

I was so inspire to read Bruce’s testimonial on using Nordic Poles that I decided to print it for you to read and learn! 

“I use the Nordic Poles.  I took some training (one hour) from a certified instructor that is also a patient of mine.  With them I can do a mile in 8.5 minutes and without them I have to push to power walk one in under 11 minutes.

The workout is tremendous!  I am probably doing more than most readers here but I mention this to point out that you get more benefit for your time by using them.  I am lazy by nature and am always looking for ways to get more for less.  Nordic Poles are a way to get all of the above and if you want a fairly intense workout in a short period of time.  I also use them indoors when I travel.  I climb the hotel steps and they help me with speed and balance on the steps (I only walk up – if I do more than one trip I ride the elevator down and go up again).  Going down is very hard on the knees and more likely to result in a fall?”

This is Rochelle and Mike Hoffman (Rochelle is my daughter).  I am leaving out today to go to the Chicago Marathon where they will be running for the American Cancer Society.  I have never walked in a marathon; however, I am challenging myself to advance in my walking levels.  Are you challenging yourself to go to the next level in walking?  You can and should to ensure creating your healthy body and lifestyles.  I am registering for the Shamrock Half Marathon in Virginia Beach as a walker and training starts on November 13th, 2009 even though the event is March 2010.  You need to train your body for long distance walking.  Do not ever consider yourself too old to walk in a marathon!  Write and tell me if you have walked in a marathon – I would love to hear about it.  We need to encourage each other and share our stories.  Well, off to Chicago and to cheer the “LIVE-LOVE-LAUGH” team to the finish line.
