  • Photography Field Trip

    Four of us made it out today, to the Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology for this month's Photo Walk. Theme: Abstract Photography. We all found inspiration in this historic setting; beautiful architecture, forms, textures and reflecting surfaces. 

      
    A big nod and thank you to our tour guide, Nancy P., whose abstract hat and amazing personality had us hooked from the start.  We'll be back!

    Thanks to Jane, Helen and Colleen for a fun filled field trip.

  • 5 reasons for walking

    CFUW offers Nordic pole walking on Friday mornings.

    By Irene Hayworth, Convenor
    Nordic Pole Walking Interest Group 

    These are quotations from various organizations that give five reasons
    for walking: 

    1. Walking at least half an hour, six days a week can cut mortality rates from heart disease in half, according to the Women’s Heart Foundation.
    2. Walking 10 kilometres a week may prevent brain shrinkage and help improve memory, according to a study by the University of Pittsburgh.
    3. Walking raises good HDLcholesterol and lowers bad LDL cholesterol levels, says the American Heart Association. 
    4. Stroke, a journal of the American Heart Association, reports that women who walk two or more hours a week at a brisk pace have a significantly lower risk of stroke than women who don’t walk regularly.
    5. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that aerobic exercise such as walking at least three to five times a week for 30 to 60 minutes can reduce your risk of depression.

    Friends, it looks like there are many health benefits associated with walking.

    The Nordic Pole Walking (Interest) Group meets on Friday mornings.
