Two new activities
Pétanque is a traditional social game where the players must
place two havy metal balls (boules) as close as possible to the
the cochonnet ( the little pig, a small wooden ball) thrown at the
beginning of the set from a circle drawn on the ground at a
distance of 6-10m. Players play 1 by 1 (tete a tete) or by teams of
2 (doublette) or 3 (triplette)

Nordic walking
Nordic walking is walking with two sticks that allow activation
of the upper body while walking.
The use of sticks allows aerobic exercising while working on
muscle strength, flexibility, coordination and on balance. Sticks
have rubber bands that make the sticks a mobile gym and allow
to perform Pilates exercises in any place. In Europe where
millions of people are walking, Nordic activity is highly
recommended for Senior Citizens.
Nordic walking's benefits:
Increases energy consumption compared with normal walking
Operates, strengthens and increase the flexible of upper body
muscles- shoulders, arms, upper chest and back
Improves health endurance and blood flow
Reduces lower back strain and lap joints
Relieves muscle tension pain in the neck and shoulders
Facilitates walk on slopes , descents and on smooth surfaces
Improves posture and balance
For those who are interested we suggest:
Free trial lesson
Learning in small groups in a series of eight lessons
Training by trained Nordic walking physical education teachers
Possibility of acquiring personal sticks with discounted centrally
Possibly to continue practicing in classes
