Nordic Walking
Another grant money opportunity was presented to us and we are all in! The Lewiston Senior Advisory Council has also donated grant money to purchase walking sticks. Nordic walking sticks are used to extend your arms and engage the upper body, turning a regular walk into a full-body exercise. They help increase forward propulsion, improve posture, reduce joint stress, and enhance cardiovascular fitness while walking outdoors. We are looking for fourteen 50+ participants to sign up for this series of walks. The walking sticks will be loaned to you for approximately 6
weeks to take home as well attend these 45-minute walks once a week. This is a free program, and the walks will start off at Bates College for the first 2 weeks and the following 4 weeks will be at different
locations. The different location will vary, and transportation will be provided to you on our Recreation Bus which will leave from the Lewiston Armory.
