Menopause and Nordic Walking with Catherine Pestano
09/15/21 • 29 min
In today’s episode I discuss the Menopause in relation to Nordic Walking with Catherine Pestano. Catherine is a qualified INWA Nordic Walking Instructor and runs Valley Nordic Walking in Croydon. She is also a mental health social worker by training and a Rebound Therapist. Her passion is to help people who like her felt nervous about exercise and were unsure if it was for them. For far too long the menopause has been considered a taboo subject, but fortunately those outdated beliefs are disappearing. So in today’s episode, we are going to discuss the perimenopause, the menopause and how Nordic Walking can bring multiple benefits to both.
If you would like to learn more about the menopause, then here are some links to research and information that Catherine mentioned in her interview.

Next Episode
Osteoarthritis and Nordic Walking with John Horton
In this episode, I’m talking to John Horton, a British Nordic Walking Instructor from Rochester in Kent. John is also a qualified personal trainer, a paramedic and university lecturer in Paramedic Science at Anglia Ruskin University. John has a background in road, trail running and ultra marathon running and has undertaken several extreme challenges in his running career, which we will discuss in our conversation. However, he had to find an alternative form of exercise when he developed Osteoarthritis six years ago, which is the subject of this episode. John is not alone in this condition; approximately 8.5 million adults in the UK have Osteoarthritis and it is estimated that 50% of people over 65 have some evidence of this disease in their joints.
