Rehabilitation After the Perfect Storm

“[I] appreciate being able to the exercise in the quiet of the outdoors. We [my husband and I] have lovely trails near our house and we went out daily as soon as it was light, before other tasks claimed our attention and energy.  My theory being that prioritizing [Urban] poling over house and yard work would allow me to regain the energy needed [after illness] to take on those tasks as well. That is exactly what happened….we continue to use our poles to make further gains in our fitness.”

Time to See the World

"I love cycling most of all because it gives me freedom. It's about being outside, the wind in your hair (that's right, you don't always have to wear a helmet) and the sights and sounds of life in the city or countryside. Why would anyone want to have an cycle exercise machine or go to a spinning class? Just get on a bike and go somewhere."

Let Everything Go

"When I’m in my kayak, I really feel like leaving everything aside, to be in sync with the water, with nature. My body is connected to the boat, it reacts to how I feel.

When you’re really able to let everything go and to think about nothing, that’s when you’re able to reach extreme speeds but also have a lot of pleasure.”

- Emilie F.

Why I Love to Bike

"I found that it [biking] gave me a whole expansion of my universe. Besides health and fitness, I became more aware of my community, of nature around me, and of the elevation that it gave to my body and mind.

So, yes, I move.

I pedal.

I balance.

I live."

- Chuck O.

"Usually I go for walks and start telling myself the story. I'm imagining and ordering the story, both at once. As I tell it, I get more and more familiar with it. Then, when I sit down to write, it's almost like taking dictation."

- Richard Wagamese, author/journalist/storyteller

Read more about Richard's new book, Medicine Walk, in the March/April 2015 issue of The Costco Connection
