Success in 2011 - Natural Trekking arrives at Everest Base Camp using Urban Poles™
Shortly before noon on Sunday April 24, 2011, Lois Tomlinson of Natural Trekking and 3 of her clients
arrive at Everest Base Camp with the help of Urban Poles™. The recent snow on the
rocky trail make the use of poles mandatory! It was an incredible moment to stand at the base of Everest watching mountaineers
prepare to ascend the highest mountain in the world!
"Nordic-Walk Your Way to Weight Loss"!
Click here for a recently
published article in Canadian Living Magazine. It’s an inspiring first-person story from an Urban Poling class participant and former
marathon runner who has fallen in love with poling.
"After four months of walking three or four times a week in all kinds of weather, I've lost 10 pounds, my arms are more toned,
and I feel re-energized," says the author Cheryl Embrett.
Add energy to your walk and keep
your body toned for a healthier life! Natural Trekking plans to put
hundreds of 'people in Motion' with Nordic Walking sessions using Urban Poles™
.
