I am a Mom and Grandma, Hiker and Walker, Artist, and Statistician and hope you will find walking as engaging as I do! My approach is to provide you with as many ideas as possible so that you can choose among them to create for yourself the ideal walking experience.
This class is ideal for both new walkers and experienced walkers who want to improve their form or have more fun as they walk. While the techniques are targeted at walking outdoors on the streets or on trails, most of the course is applicable to treadmill walkers as well.
