About Nordic Walking - www.facebook.com/group.php
What is it?
• Nordic Walking is an enhancement of ordinary walking – it makes something we can all do…. twice as effective!
• Nordic Walking uses poles to in order to add two major benefits to walking.
• The use of poles means the upper body muscles are used as well as the legs .
• The poles help to propel the walker along – this means he/she works harder than usual yet the support given by the poles makes it feel easier!
Benefits
Beneficial for all.
• Nordic Walking is quite unique in that it provides benefits for everybody from those with medical problems to the super fit.
• Whatever age, fitness level or goal, - Nordic Walking is suitable, effective and enjoyable.
Physical Benefits
• Tones the upper and lower body at the same time
• Uses 90% of the skeletal muscles
• Burns up to 46% more calories than ordinary walking
• Reduces the pressure on knees and joints
• Great for the Heart and Lungs
• Ideal for neck, shoulder and back problems
• Poles propel the walker along, making it easier to move faster then normal without feeling the effort.
• It is one of the most effective cross training techniques for athletes and sportspeople who require ultimate cardiovascular and endurance conditioning.
Other Benefits
• Can be done anywhere – no need for hills, country paths or even snow!
• It appeals to all ages and fitness levels.
• No need to wear special exercise clothing
• It’s very sociable;participants can chat as they go!
• It is easy to learn and to keep up.
• It combines exercise with the nature which has been proven to boost mood.
Nordic Walking is a specific fitness technique and is not to be confused with trekking, hill walking or trail running as the poles are not planted in front of the walker/runner but in a specific way that increases the use of the upper body. It can be done by anybody, anywhere and does not require expensive equipment or clothing.
Nordic Walking is the fastest growing fitness activity in the world and is used by individuals, personal trainers, health clubs, physiotherapists, doctors and health promoters because it is highly effective, affordable and FUN!

“the rain of one afternoon”
“These beautiful words look like the rain of one afternoon when we are alone watching this landscape behind the blind of water.. and their sad and lovely sound performs the luth of solitude.” -
The words and the work are about Time. Time in our lives, time when we are alone, time that is a memory.Only one minute can pass, and all things change. Each one of my works is about the passing of time, the changes, and the events. Circles speak of life, and death, slate fences tell of the ancestors, power houses of cultural discord. The Cruciform paintings are arduous, layers of paint carefully applied, each drying for 48 hours before the next. Then the final coat with a splash of water, and a swipe of the cloth, the image revealed in one moment.
The exhibition is a mix of work done over the last three years. The passing of time…………..

Restless Shores - John Rowlands at Canolfan Cywain Centre, Bala - 4th of September to the 2nd of October 2009.
The artist, John Rowlands, has an exhibition in the Cywain Centre from the 4th of September to the 2nd of October 2009.
John Rowlands was born in Llanrhystyd, Ceredigion, and he studied at the Art College in Cardiff, Bristol and Carmarthen.
His paintings have been exhibited in several of the British Art Galleries and also in Brittany.
It was a pleasure to listen to the artist describing his method of painting, and the pictures he produced were so colourful
and remarkable. It would be worth your while to pay a visit to this exhibition.
