Nordic Walking

nordicwalking.gif Not related to cell phones - just a side thing because it's so sunny here, with such a taste of summer and freedom that it makes you giddy. And don't worry, it's a one time post and not related to fatblogging either (such an awful term!), though I find it fascinating that two of the most famous people in the blogosphere (Joi Ito and Jason Calacanis) cover their progress in losing weight online and that they are both men to boot. This is for everyone else who may not necessarily need to lose weight, but don't exercise enough because they're so caught up online. I've found the perfect answer. Nordic walking.

You feel like your walk has a sense of purpose and your arms don't hang loose. It's not painful like jogging and it beats walking a dog that stops all the time (unless of course you feed him Energique, in which case he'll only stop once a week).

The only hard part is not feeling ridiculous. I'm off! back in an hour.
