Good morning from the Tram Road....close to Preston Parks Avenham Park and Capitol Centre Preston .

Walking comes in all shapes and sizes, let's say.

It could be a slow mindful walk, or a faster paced stride out.
Walking with poles (with the right technique, of course) is something we highly recommend because of all the additional benefits on offer to you.

We even have Power of Poles dedicated 90-minute tuition sessions to allow you to "feel it".

And you can read about all the benefits to toning your arms, back, tummy, improving your posture, helping you turn a walk into a workout, etc, but it's not until your mind and body "feel it", that the light bulb switches on, and you wonder why you never did it before.

And then, of course, you can stick a weighted vest on your back for additional loading...or simply put a child on your shoulders 💪🤣

Happy weekend folks

Another top cafe in one of Preston Parks wonderful parks.

Namely Rosemary on the Park in Moor Park.

Keep yourself mobile and connected with us through the winter months.

It rained Tuesday, but gloriously sunny today, if not a nip in the air. Could be anything next week, but we'll still be out whatever the weather.

Happy Thursday folks

Saturday mornings 9am we have our Rise and Shine walks.

Often starting at Capitol Centre, Vue Cinena & Starbucks we have a variety of options of routes to take.

Today WALX instructor Sue took the group out the Hennel Lane and back along the tree-lined Tram Road which is impressive all times of the year for various reasons.

Fancy joining us to walk off the working week, or simply to energise yourself for the weekend to come....give us a call on 01772 439 369.

Happy weekend folks.

Wellness walk at Preston Parks Haslam Park today.

Meet Barbara who has been walking with poles and with our group for many years now.

Hips and knees replaced, and arthritis, but nothings stopping Barbara from coming out for a brew with the gang 😉...oh, and the essential walking of course.

Happy Thursday folks. Isn't that October sunshine just marvellous 😊 🌞

Shout out today to Hurst Grange Coffee House and Cafe.
Great food. Excellent service. And located in a beautiful park just outside the city centre.

At WALX we want you to walk to keep up your mobility, strength, flexibility, and overall fitness and health as you inevitably age.

But why not make it so much easier than "goin down t'gym" and incorporate leisurely walking (with poles if you want to, as there are many additional benefits achievable) together with leisurely chit chatter over a cuppa, and maybe some food out.

Give us a call on 01772 439 369 anytime.

Happy Tuesday 😊

Our Rise & Shine walk along both banks of the river Ribble today from and to Preston Parks Avenham Park.

A glorious autumnal morning.

A shout out to WALX annual WALX Festival. September 27. Get it in your diary. Fabulous coastal walks on the Dorset Isle of Purbeck.

And we had the good fortune of bumping into our Steady Steps group back in Miller Park.

Happy weekend folks

3 things that honestly could CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

1) The beautiful park spaces of Preston Parks
2) These WALX velocity poles
3) Our Walx Preston members

If you're feeling stuck with your health, or mobility, or life then walking upright, with good posture, and a comfy pace, chit chatting with others, and immersing yourself in beautiful green space....can literally work wonders.

Give us a call on 01772 439 369 and we'll be seeing you soon.
