Companion PAWS - Pets And Wellness for Seniors
An organization dedicated to seniors and companion pets, for the benefit of both.
Wellness
Nancy Frank is available to present seminars on wellness to audiences of all sizes and types.  An entertaining and educational speaker, Nancy will share information on how to stay fit for a longer fuller life, especially with the pets who share it with you. 

What we eat and what we do determine how well and fit we stay.  Something we can all do to promote wellness for ourselves is walk, and we can take ordinary walking to a new level when we use Exerstriding poles. Not only do they offer balance, but using them, we tone  all of the major muscle systems in the body.  Exerstriding, or Nordic walking, uses poles like cross country skiing, and it has a remarkable number of benefits over other types of strenuous excercise, without the exertion, profuse sweating or sore or abused muscles.  Here are a few:
  • Tone muscles in both upper and lower body
  • Reduce total body fat without breathless panting 
            (Approximately 400 calories per hour are consumed
            compared with 280 from walking alone.)
  • Release tension from neck and shoulder area
  • Strengthen and condition all major body muscles
  • Increase heart rate approximately 13% over normal walking rate
  • Maintain strong bones and healthy joints
  • Build healthy heart and respiratory system
  • Reduce pain and injury-causing stress to hips, knees and feet
  • Improve posture and balance
  • Enjoy a fun, convenient, fresh-air, total body exercise!
An entertaining and educational seminar is available to your group or association on the benefits of Exerstriding.  Contact Companion PAWS to schedule yours!
