I'd Rather Be Outdoors

I'd Rather Be Outdoors I'd Rather Be Outdoors offers Nordic Walking, Canicross / Canitrek 121s and Pilates Classes. Running regularly will improve the health of your heart and lungs.

Nordic Walking is a great way to get outdoors and start walking for fitness, it uses more muscles than normal walking so it burns more calories. Cani-cross and Cani-trek uses specially designed harnesses to help you enjoy running, walking and bonding with your dog. It may help to increase bone density in some people, which can help protect against bone diseases like osteoporosis. Pilates is low impact, can help with balance, strength, and flexibility.
