This GROUP is for folks aged 50+ who seek safe, gentle exercise that involves walking in small groups around Heritage Place Mall, for the small fee of $5 per week, paid upon arrival!  

(You may walk longer afterwards, if you have your own poles!)

This GROUP is NOT just for folks who own a pair of ‘walking poles’; it is also for those who wish to try walking with POLES (& learn how!) before purchasing their own pair ($5 rental fee/hr for those folks).  

Note: All participants are required to sign a ‘one-time’ WAIVER for my insurance provider, please & thanks!  Renters must provide valid identification.

You will learn the benefits of walking with POLES, the various walking techniques plus other exercises that can be done holding POLES, including EXERCISES to improve your BALANCE!

FORMAT:

1. We will meet inside the studio where you may leave your coats & boots safely while out WALKING around the MALL!

2. We begin inside the studio with gentle, light exercises to warm up our muscles & joints (very important!); then you will learn & safely practise a few balance exercises, learning more ways to use your POLES!

3. Bathroom break first; bonus, it’s right across the hall!

3. OFF WE GO to walk around the Mall for 30 mins!  Just as a precaution, please walk in groups for safety!  

4. After the walk, you will return to the studio for a short period of stretching which helps prevent pain & stiffness after exercising!

The fee for the weekly meetings is $5.00/hour.

The fee to rent a pair of poles for 1 hour is an additional $5 = $10 total ONLY IF you rent a pair of POLES.

Sorry no refunds when paying in advance.
Payments accepted: E-transfer, cash or cheque.
