Details: Outdoor Exercise. We learn the ins and outs of using the tubes and do challenging drills. We go over the dunes and on the beach. We will jog short distances and do exercise along the way. At the end of each lesson we do a cool-down and walk back to The Hungry Mind for a coffee or anything else. The fun of XCO Walking & Running is that it gets you in shape quickly. You quickly begin to lose weight and get in good shape!
Wear sportswear, running shoes, a cap (optional) and dress in layers. In the hip belt of XCO is a small box for your drinking bottle. We will start on time! I look forward tovery nice and pleasant XCO training sessions! If you have further questions, please let me know by mail or telephone.
