Pole Walking - Metabolic Training 2021              


Connie Shares: "I found a nice walking spot for us, it’s flat but good starter.If you head towards mission marsh, it will be on the right hand side before you get to pacific avenue. There is a parking lot, I think it is where Blake’s plant trees, but you can go in two directions, one out to Lake Superior and the other along Neebing. River. I have seen people parked and walking there. It’s just an idea. It’s wide open with side walks"
