Nordic Walking on the deck
I recently returned from a cruise – Rome to Istanbul. Stops in Sicily and Greek sites in between. A good time.
I was teaching Nordic Walking aboard the Crystal Serenity. I’ve mentioned this before. We have 10 poles on each of Crystal’s two ships. Classes are given every day – EVERY day – even when we are in port. (some don’t take the tours). 7:30 am and 5 pm. Yes, I get a lot of exercise!
Many passengers took to it rapidly. The 1/3 mile wooden deck is unusually now in the era of the mega ships. Those give you a short green path above the pool – you have to turn every 20 paces!
Folks who had NO clue what Nordic Walking was, picked it up in less than ½ a lap. I mean like 10 minutes. I recorded a few testimonials and will post them on the blog soon. You will hear who they love the increased heart rate they are experiencing, the back support, and many other benefits.
Several purchased poles thru me to continue their new fitness routine. MANY from Australia.
