ANWA is the (American Nordic Walking Association). They are out of Santa Monica…the northern part of LA. That is where you can attend classes if you are in the neighborhood. The head cheese is Bernd Zimmerman. He’s passionate about Nordic Walking.
I got instructor-certified there. The shop is near the Pacific Ocean and you get to walk on Pacific Palisades Park. I had heard the song: “Down at Palisades Park” in my youth. Give it a listen. It’s sung by Freddie “boom boom” Cannon. Oh, there were no roller coasters or Ferris wheels. Well, THAT Palisades park is in New Jersey. Oh well, still cool.

ANWA has just released their 2016 class schedule. They are all over the USA. I cover the greater San Francisco Bay area. We actually meet in the foothill town of Los Gatos. That’s next to San Jose. We go on Saturdays so traffic is a breeze. I’ll personally teach you. We go 4 hours and have no-host lunch at the popular Purple Onion.
Join ANWA at their site…and see the new schedule here. Feb 20th is the next one for me (and YOU). Sign up and get walking!!
Carpe Diem! – Seize the day.
