Nordic Pole Walking was introduced to us by the queen herself, Linda Lemke. Unfortunately, Linda hasn’t been able to come to Green Valley this winter, but Steve W. is well on his way to becoming the king of pole walking.

We know the importance of exercise, the only treatment shown to slow the progression of Parkinson’s. Our support group offers a variety of exercise opportunities with varying levels of exertion. The important thing is to find the type of exercise that you like enough to do regularly.

Pole walking is done outdoors. That’s why you are in southern Arizona, right? Steve faithfully meets our members twice a week—Tuesdays at Sahuarita Lake and Saturdays at the Historic Canoa Ranch at 10:30 am. Both are pleasant locations. No poles? No worries! Poles are provided to borrow.
