Nordic Pole Walking at New Pond Village

The latest exercising craze at New Pond has hit the ground, "walking".  Led by Excella physical therapist, Karen Swan, the group is thriving and growing by the day.  Residents are not only learning the benefits of becoming more physically fit - but their posture is improving as well.  Below are some photos from our recent pole-walking activities as well as the graduation from training.
