This will be my sixth season in the St Cloud area and I’m looking forward to seeing all my walkers and leading classes for new walkers. We didn’t get to do many classes last summer with Covid around but the walking groups were active and will be again this spring. Check back after the holidays for the updated schedule of classes for 2021.
Liz Ogren and the Pedal, Roll and Stroll team is leading a group in Burnsville, the Green Fit Club with Three Rivers Park District includes Nordic walking, Maple Grove Nordic Walkers i.e. the 757 Club are led by Sher Monfore have Nordic walking groups all summer and fall, and Hoigaards has a weekly Nordic walking Tuesday that meets at various locations.
My classes include everything from short Introductory classes to 3 part classes for more personal attention to your technique. There will also be special 2 hour Beyond the Basics clinics for walkers looking to take the next step and ramp up their walk. As always I’m available to teach private individual or group lessons or to do Corporate Wellness programs.
We know that it’s more fun to walk with a group. The local groups in Sauk Rapids, Cold Spring and St Cloud will walk once per week. 3 years ago I started a Nordic Walking group at the St Cloud VA, open to all vets and their partners/caregivers. We hope to have that up and walking again this spring. Check my Facebook page for locations and times. If you’d like more information about these groups please email me. The walks in the schedules are FREE, open to all levels of walkers and if they are led by an instructor or group leader there will be poles available for use on the walk.
For winter walking 2020/21 check your local area for programs with poles. If you don’t find them suggest they contact me and we can get a program started in your area.
Hope to see you out there!
October 20, 2021 – The Cold Spring Granite Steppers is a free community walk group that meets weekly at 8:30-9:30am on Wednesday mornings. All walkers are invited and encouraged to join us. Whether you have poles or are simply curious about what everyone is doing with them, this walk is for you! We walk for an hour, everyone is encouraged to walk the pace and distance that is comfortable for them. We begin our season by meeting at the ROCORI Community Ed building in the parking lot on the north side outside the senior center. We enjoy many different walks throughout Cold Spring and then in May we will meet at prearranged locations to enjoy new adventures. It's a fun group, free walk, free poles to use, free stimulating conversation and of course a chance to walk with the Nordic Walking Queen! Poles are available for use during the walks and there will be a short introduction to the basic technique for any new comers. We will observe Social Distancing while walking. Walks are scheduled through the end of October. No registration necessary. Questions? or in the event of questionable weather please call or text 952-475-0891 or email lindamlemke@gmail.com
