We have a Number of Ideas about Expanding our Outdoor GAiN Projects
Being active in nature offers so much more that just plodding around in the GYM.
We want to create a varied range of activities that you can do in Nature.
At Commonground ReWilding we want to create a really cool outdoor active fitness gym. That covers both the more intense type of activity to the more laid back ways of moving in the woods that include meditation or our Papergirl year of sketching in the woods.
This section is about what we want to add to our existing activities you will have seen on the pervious page. The picture to you right is cani-cross and we are currently looking to some training, so that those of you that run with us currently can bring your dogs along. Sorry no Cats.
Join the movement! Reimagine communities, integrate nature, and build a sustainable future with us.
3 on 3 Basketball Circuit
You can’t beat a bit of 3 on 3 basketball. Our founder used to regularly include it as part of his circuit and performance classes. Its an absolutely brilliantly way to get all aspects of fitness. The circuits aim is to basically have fun playing basketball.

Wim Hof Cold Water Conditioning
Our founder is currently serious involved in becoming a WHM instructor. We bet that you look at the picture to your right and think “What the hell is this about” or think “I’m to cold just looking at it. Actually there is proven science behind the benefits of cold training.
Not only that the WHM also incorporates breathing exercises as part of the system. These are different from the breathing we do with in our meditation sessions on the previous page but is just as effective when taken as a whole. Our Founder is currently trying to get the WHM team to accept that our founder have a unique way of learning due to the combination of his hearing disabilities and his neuro-divergency. Watch this space if you are interested.
Running Conditioning with Pilates & Kettlebells
This is not a one off sessions but rather a number of sessions. The aim is to give you both and mental base for your running. With our running coaching programme we run a year round coaching programme (As you will of seen on the previous page.)
At the end of any season we go back to basic’s and we are looking to add in from around Oct/Nov to early in the new year sessions aim to build core strength and mobility. One of the main reasons for this is to reduce injury and develop enjoyment of running.
Kettlebells are a great way to increase strength and flexibility. Our Kettlebell sessions are not just for runners but for anyone looking for an exercise class that is that little bit different. In fact this session would suit anyone of the sessions we run as it except maybe not in regards improving your drawing skills but you will be stronger and more flexible for it.
Learn About Nature and Sustainability
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Frequently Asked Queries
Being Outdoors in inclement weather
This is the most asked question. As a rule we are out in all weathers. This may surprise you but we tend to avoid serious hot weather. Cold weather is no problem for us.
Suitable attire to wear.
The best clothing for sessions like Nordic Walking & a all our walking sessions involves maximising breathability, mobility, and moisture control to accommodate the high heart rate and arm movement and to avoid restrictive clothing (like jeans) and cotton, which traps sweat. Running being a more sweaty activity we recommend warm clothing once you have finished the session.
Equipment and where to buy
Generally we supply all the equipment but if you wish to purchase you own say Nordic Walking poles we can get what you need.
Health & Safety
Being Outdoors creates its own health and safety issues. Being Nordic Walking Coaches we are trained in Risk Assessment of any route or activity. All routes have been assessed before hand and if you wish we can furnish you with our own assessment. Being qualified in all these activities and being in the fitness industry for over 20 years we are more that capable of running safe sessions.
Part of our safety programmes also includes in training those who attend our sessions. Being in nature can be just as dangerous as lifting heavy weight or being in a high intensity class. In Nature you need to become aware of what’s around you and what your own limitations are. We can help you understand this better.
