Walking On Air
A podcast for the Nordic Walking Community, both current members; those considering taking up this wonderful exercise; and people who want to learn more. Each week, I interview an expert in Nordic Walking and discuss the benefits of Nordic Walking on both physical and mental health. I am Mary Fulton, a British Nordic Walking instructor with Nordic Walking East Anglia.

Nordic Walking & Breathing with Tina Gibbons
In episode 51, I am talking to Tina Gibbons, a BNW instructor from the tranquil North Cotswolds. Tina has also been practising yoga since she was at school and has been teaching it for over 20 years. She particularly likes the many overlaps between NW and yoga, such as good posture, a strong core, balance and stability plus flexibility and strength and therefore includes yoga inspired stretching into her nordic walking sessions.
In this episode, Tina talks us through a couple of breathing exercises that we can practice at home and then try to incorporate into a nordic walk.
Tina can be contacted on: tinag@mrmsnet.com
Tina mentioned the book, Breathe by James Nestor.
Studies referenced in this interview:
Wu and colleagues - Effectiveness of Meditative movement on COPD (2018)
Hansen et al - Effect of aerobic exercise training on asthma in adults (2020)
