Have you ever noticed how one small misstep can change everything?
For many older adults, a single trip or fall can lead to weeks in hospital, loss of confidence—or even independence. But here’s the good news: walking can build resilience, not risk—when it’s done well.
This month, I’m sharing five practical walking habits that can help you stay upright, mobile and independent. These aren’t fads. They’re tried-and-tested tips that support good posture, better balance and sharper awareness.
Even better? Nordic Walking naturally teaches all 5 of these habits—without needing to “think” about them.
- Looking ahead instead of down
- Swinging your arms to stay balanced
- Rolling heel-to-toe for better foot control
- Activating your core gently with every stride
- Noticing ground changes
And because Nordic Walking uses poles, your upper and lower body work together to support each step. It’s low-impact, energising and ideal for women (and men) in their 60s, 70s and beyond.
This June, you can try it for yourself:
- 45-minute Taster Sessions – perfect for beginners of any age or ability
- 60 minute Technique Refresher
- 90-minute Power of Poles Workshop – get confident with technique for fitter people

Spaces are limited and tend to fill quickly, especially in good weather!
Walk with purpose. Walk with power. Walk your way to a more confident, active life.
You’ve got this – and I’ll be with you every step of the way.
See you in the beautiful outdoors!
