Exercise provides many proven benefits that protect and stimulate the brain as we age.  However, experts all agree that probably the best way to prevent mental decline as we get older is to learn a new language.  And my guest today has ingeniously combined the two together.  Julie Frankland is a Nordic Walking UK trained instructor, who runs a group called Nordic Walk ‘n’ Talk, based in Bassano del Grappa, Italy.  Julie’s mother tongue is English, she conducts her classes in English, but her clients are Italians, who have signed up to learn both Nordic Walking and English at the same time.

If you have enjoyed this podcast, I would be very grateful if you could show your support by buying me a coffee!  This enables me to continue producing these podcasts, as it will go towards covering the server and podcast platform licenses.   Not only is Nordic Walking a whole body workout, but it is also one of the safest and most sociable way to exercise.  Classes always finish up in a cafe enjoying a coffee together. Many thanks, Mary x
