Gang,

It looks like Uncle Ricky will be heading from Rome to Istanbul soon. I’ll be aboard the Crystal Serenity teaching Nordic Walking. We have 10 LEKI poles on each ship and offer FREE classes at 7:30 am and 5 pm EVERY day.  (So I get a jim-dandy work out!).

Nordic Walking around the 1/3 mile Promenade Deck

We’ve been doing it since 2009 and have exposed thousands to the fitness rage. It’s huge in Europe and like a missionary I am plugging to get it moving in the USA.  The benefits page says it all. And they have been tested and these numbers come from the Dallas Cooper Institute.  More on that organization in a future blog.

Want to raise your heart rate? Yes, Nordic Walking is the way to do it. Just push down slightly with each step. They add up and your triceps will feel it. I get positive comments from many first timers who are now convinced.

I also teach classes in the San Jose area. I’ll even teach 1-1. Hey, I’m retired form decades in the Silicon Valley computer game, so I have the time.  Hit the Contact page.

Anyway, if you want an all-inclusive trip on the #1 rated cruise line for the past 19 years (really) book with Crystal. OK, it is not cheap, but what are you saving it for?  Spend your kid’s inheritance – you earned it. They need to fend for themselves anyway!

Carpe Diem
