🌄 Lookout Hill Adventure — What a Hike!
Our Outdoor Walking and Wellness crew took on the Lookout Hill at the Badlands Amphitheatre, and wow… those views never disappoint.😍The photos don’t even come close to doing it justice.
🤝We were in great hands with our guides Moriah and Badger the dog🐾, who shared their knowledge of the local flora and fauna — and bravely protected us from the local wildlife.🦌We saw where some new hoodoos are starting to form. And much to our delight...blooming cacti!🌵Unfortunately, we were too far away to get a good picture.
✨We highly recommend checking out this hike, even if you’re a local. We go every year, and this time we had two people experiencing it for the very first time.✅
During our Outdoor Walking and Wellness classes, we explore different locations throughout the Drumheller Valley and surrounding area. Everyone is welcome to join us — beginners, seasoned walkers, and anyone who just wants to move, breathe, and enjoy the great outdoors.🌳
And now that summer is here…we’re back to Road Trips and Brown Bag Suppers.

At first, I wasn’t going to share this video for a whole bunch of reasons.
🌟One — our Step Aerobics classes are done for the summer, so the timing isn’t ideal (don’t worry… they’ll be back in September).💫Two — we hadn’t yet learned the arm movements that go with the leg movements.✨Three — one of our most dedicated steppers wasn’t there when we recorded it (missed you, Mary).⭐️And four — when I tried my hand at editing, I somehow managed to lose the audio.😔
Some would say, “With all those negatives, why bother posting it at all?” Here’s why.
While this two-minute clip may look like a bunch of women going up and down on a step, it’s what you don’t see that matters.👀
😍I see a group of people who show up every week — even on the days they don’t feel like it — to do something good for themselves and to inspire others.
😨I see someone who had never tried step aerobics before, but set her fears aside, gave it a try anyway, and ended up loving it.
😊I see someone who hadn’t done Step Aerobics since their youth, jumping back in after decades.
❤I see stronger hearts and lungs, improved stamina, and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
🦵I see glutes and quadriceps getting stronger — the muscles that stabilize knees and hips for walking, running, and stair climbing — which is directly tied to independence and injury prevention as we age.
🎶I see coordination and balance improving through rhythmic, choreographed movement. Brains firing as people learn sequences, process spatial patterns, and adapt to transitions — a cognitive workout wrapped inside a physical one.
🎩And, I see the magic that happens when people move together: motivation, laughter, shared effort, and a sense of belonging that solo workouts just can’t replicate.
Most of all, I see a group of women who keep showing up and walking the walk (or in this case… stepping the step), not just talking the talk. And I’m proud to be among them.🥳
That’s why I decided to share this video.
At Drumheller Nordic Walking and Wellness, we’ve always said: You don’t have to go fast… you just have to go. What are you waiting for?
Call and register for one of our upcoming classes today. You’ll be glad you did.

🙂Our motto at Drumheller Nordic Walking and Wellness has always been "You don't have to go fast...you just have to go"! And that applies to ALL of our classes, not just Nordic Walking.
Don't want to use the riser during Walk/Step and Tone? Then use the floor.💪Want to use a 2-pound weight instead of a 5-pound weight during Resist, Stretch and Meditate? Then use the 2-pound weight.🌀Don't want to do a full spin during Line Dancing? Then do a grapevine instead.
There are always alternatives, no matter what your fitness level or ability may be. So, if you're worried about being a beginner...relax!☺You have options. Find out for yourself with a FREE class. Call or text to get started today. 403-823-0156.

☝I can’t count the number of times I’ve advertised an activity, event, or class — including Nordic Walking for Beginners — only to have very little interest…🥺
Until the deadline has passed or the event day is over.
And suddenly my life is full of people saying, “I wish I’d known! I would’ve loved to join.”

Let’s not do that this time.

If you’ve been thinking about trying Nordic walking, this is your chance.
Our next Nordic Walking for Beginners class is happening:

🗓 Sunday, June 7
⏰ 1:00–3:00 p.m.
💲 $25 per person or 2 for $40
📞 Pre‑registration is required — call 403‑823‑0156

Don’t miss out and then wish you had jumped in.
Grab a friend, register early, and come learn something new with us.
Your future self will thank you.
