NORDIC WALKING

For those who “wear wings on their feet”
Nordic Walking has currently become one of the most fashionable sporting activities. This sport originates in Finland and is carried out by walking outdoors in the middle of nature with special walking poles. It is a very easy, natural and effective way of weight-control while at the same time offering numerous physical and psychological health benefits, strengthening muscle tone and reducing neck and shoulder tension, suitable for people of all ages and differing fitness levels. It also improves the health of your heart and lungs thereby burning fat and improving muscle tone of arms, back, shoulders, chest and legs.
But even more importantly it is really pleasurable, relaxing and inexpensive, suitable for both the social walker enjoying the outdoors in company, to the elite athlete needing specific sports cross training. The great thing about Nordic Walking is that it can be carried out everywhere but obviously best results are obtained away from the city centre: for this reason Cesenatico is particularly suitable for Nordic Walking due to its parks, kilometres of sandy beaches, wide tree-lined roads and pine-wood paths, not forgetting the surrounding countryside and nearby hills, both of which can be easily reached on foot or, within a few minutes, by bicycle or car.

The Hotel Lungomare offers the following amenities:
• maps of Cesenatico and the surrounding Romagnola countryside, free of charge, with differing levels of fitness;
• rental of nordic walking poles: € 4,00 per day
• nordic walking classes with an instructor (fee to be defined at time of booking, the more people the cheaper!)
• excursions with an instructor
• drinking water to take with you during excursions

What equipment do you need? Sports clothing, comfortable walking or trekking boots, back-pack and waterproofs.

A really healthy holiday break!
