Event Information:
Each Sunday Bob Roncker's Running Spot/New Balance stores will host an Exerstride Method™ Nordic walking session at a different site around the Greater Cincinnati area. Our intent is to show you routes not normally taken. Often they will be off pavement. A sense of adventure and discovery will accompany these walks.
The time and terrain for the walk will be classified:
1, 2, or 3 refers to the number of anticipated hours for the walk. You may choose how long you wish to be out.
A, B, or C refers to the difficulty of the terrain. A is rather level, B has a mixture of hills and level terrain, and C is rather hilly.
A 2C course would be a two hour walk over a rather hilly route.
Exerstride Method™ Nordic walking is a cross between Nordic (cross-country) skiing and fitness walking. Exerstride Method™ Nordic walkers use specially designed Exerstrider® Nordic walking poles to exercise all the upper body muscles as they walk. Not only do you get Steps, you get Reps.
This form of exercise is enjoyable and it provides a total body workout as it uses more muscle groups than ordinary walking. It tones the entire upper body, burns more calories and significantly increases the aerobic benefits of walking. It is an excellent form of cross training for runners, walkers, and other exercise enthusiasts.
To participate, Exerstrider® Nordic walking poles are not required, but they are recommended. Exerstride Method™ Nordic walking lessons are given at 7:45 a.m. each week prior to the actual walk. Loaner Exerstrider® Nordic walking poles are available.
