Nordic Walking burns 20-40 percent more calories than regular walking, develops upper body strength, increases safety by adding upright stability, while reducing the impact on lower body weight-bearing joints. It improves mobility, enhances mood, and is a fun and social way to enjoy the outdoors year round. Nordic Walking is suitable for everyone from beginner to the active athlete. Please wear comfortable footwear and dress for outdoor weather. You may bring your own set of poles or rent a pair for 3 weeks for $9 from the instructor.

Are you ready to be cool? If so, the Swing is a “must learn” dance. The dance was created by dance studios including the Arthur Murray dance studios in the 1940s, based on the Lindy Hop. For those who want to learn only Swing, we will be reviewing the foundation and adding more moves, including the triple step. It will be more technical than the foundation class. Classes are held at Cellar Fitness, 9 Cumberland St., Brunswick. No discounts.
