Aerobic exercise almost anyone can do! If you can walk, you can do Nordic walking. All you need is a set of poles, some walking shoes and a desire to get outside and go. Just show up at the designated time and place and to meet and greet.

No poles, no worrie …

After scrolling through page after page of meetups that seemed too "organized" , oriented around a specific activity, already had thousands of members or always seemed to require RSVP's and advance ticket purchases, I realized I had to start my own meetup to accomplish what I really want - which is to meet cool new people for quality friendships. If you're like me, when you get to a certain age (ahem - namely 30's or so) you start to notice your friends marrying off, having kids, moving too far …

I also sometimes participate in the Wednesday Night Skate at Union Square and with many others skate clubs around the U.S., including a few marathons in far away places....

There must be other skaters around here!! Of course, …

This will be a group who want to get together to walk in the morning during the week, and maybe weekends. This will more likely than not be a same time every day/week group. Also, it would be great to move the walks around to different locations....Rockefeller Preserve, North/South County Trailways, County Parks. etc. I am open for suggestions. In addition, members of different pace might group together over time. Lets be flexible.
