Nordic walking in the Mountains with Nicola Sproson
04/21/21 • 31 min
In episode 6, I talk to my friend, Nicola Sproson from Walx-Helvellyn Ullswater. Based in the stunning English Lake District, Nicky runs classes for regular walkers, as well as for tourists looking to learn more about the area. In our conversation, Nicky explains what adaptations are needed for Nordic walking in the mountains, as well as offering some great tips on how to become 'mountain fit'.

I really hope that you enjoyed listening to Walking On Air and that you are feeling inspired to get outside and Nordic Walk. Not only is Nordic Walking a whole body workout, but it is also one of the safest and most sociable way to exercise. Classes always finish up in a cafe enjoying a coffee together. If you have enjoyed this podcast, I would be very grateful if you could show your support by buying me a coffee! Many thanks, Mary x

How Nordic Walking Benefits Mental Health with Joe Mairura
In episode 5, I talk to Joe Mairura. He spent 20 years working as a mental health practitioner first in hospitals, but mostly leading community and social care teams. In 2004 He joined the Department of Health, where he was responsible for implementing the Mental Health National Strategy for the Midlands Region, before setting up his own business in 2008 as coach, mentor and consultant to other self employed business owners in the Health and Social Care Sector. A qualified Nordic Walking Instructor, based in Derbyshire, he reminds us to think about looking after our mental health in the same way as we nurture our physical health.
