Renee meets hardcore German exercise

OK, so I've been slacking off ... sort of. But walking an hour a day and weekends on major power walks around different cities (Darmstadt, Luxembourg, Barcelona) should count. I started using my walking poles too - supposedly an extra 20% energy, and I notice how much warmer I am when I get to work. But apparently I've been doing it all wrong.

I feel so inferior. My boss laughed at my poles. He and his wife are experienced Nordic walkers. They're dragging me off into the countryside tomorrow with their Nordic walking class (his wife teaches it) to learn the proper technique and see what real Nordic poles look like.

I think I may be indoctrinated into a cult. If you haven't seen a new post from me in the next week ... no wait, that's normal ;-) If I suddenly start enthusiastically writing about exercise, please send someone to capture and de-program me.
