Dear Friend , I recently returned from a six-day wilderness backpacking trip in the Sierras. Carrying a heavy pack up and down steep mountains forced me to be super aware of how I was using my body. I needed to apply all the principles I teach in MAXIMIZING YOUR WALKING workshops to keep walking, not fall, and still enjoy myself. I created my own walking mantra: “Feet awake on unstable terrain; eyes oriented to what lies ahead; glutes, abs and thighs carry the load and reduce strain on my back; counterbalance between arms and legs to generate power and improve balance.”
I will be offering MAXIMIZING YOUR WALKING, Saturday Sept 30, 1-3 pm. I have included details about the workshop below.
Keep walking, Ernie

Discover the tools and techniques to walk with more ease and confidence. The rhythmic dance of arms, legs, torso and head in walking, also provides the coordination necessary to hike, run and bike better.
This is the second part of a 5-part once-a-month series. Each workshop will include some review of the previous workshops, yet we will always have new material. You can join at any point in the series.
NOTES: - We do not walk the entire time. Lessons are done standing, lying, sitting, and walking.
- Prerequisite: Able to get up and down from the floor and walk without assistance.
