Hiking Holiday

Currently planning a holiday to france for drinking + walking – what areas should i check out?

look up Alsace on the net al give you a few links but too many to list ..
Colmar
Ribeauville
Mullhouse
The Vossges
many more
They all follow the Rine on the french side

RE Drinking .. if you want a UK night out put your watch forward 3hrs not 1hr.. no one goes out until at least 10;30, al the good night spots are outside of the town center. no bars play music like the uk.,

When I go on holidays I love to walk & keep fit, so wondered what scenic walking trails I can do within NSW.
Thanks!

Blue Mountains definately! The Grand Canyon trail in Blackheath is amazing and will work you out. Leura Cascade trails can lead you to 3 different waterfalls. The 6 foot track at Mount Vic can take 3 days to walk and will give a great workout. There are so many bloody trails it can take a lifetime to walk them. In every one of town here… Blue Mountains Best Bushwalks is a good book to find some of the information. News agencies carry it.

How far should I walk to get the best results.

If you are able to stop walking and start ‘intervaling’

Walking will keep your heart rate relatively low. Walking will train your body to burn calories more efficiently (this is bad).
Walking will take along time to see end results.

Intervals will raise your heart rate. Intervals will raise your metabolism. Intervals will teach your body to burn more calories per day, per hour, per minute. Intervals will also deliver results much much faster.

What are cardio intervals and who are they for?

Cardio intervals can be described as a form of mixed speeds of cardio. Instead of staying at one speed throughout the workout, you will start off with a slow speed to warm up. Progress to a FAST speed for up to 2 minutes followed by another slow speed for twice the amount of time as the FAST speed. You will repeat this for up to 30 minutes of total workout time.

Cardio intervals are virtually designed to enhance the overall performance of anyone who does them. For the most part, they can be done by everyone. The main people that won’t be able to handle intervals will be elderly, sick, injured, people who suffer from poor knees, ankles, hips, back injuries, etc.

Simply implement the defined strategy above and watch your fat come running off of your body, literally.

I want to do some dog walking during the summer holidays but i dont know what to write on a card to put in the spar window.

Any ideas?

put info like

Your name, age and contact number
Your price if you are charging or if not say that you are free
What times you are willing to work
What experance with dogs that you have had e.g. ive owned dogs before
Any type of dogs that you will not walk e.g. no big dogs

I would put the card in other places as well like shops. But to be honist the best way it by word of mouth, do you or your family know people with dogs?

i intend going there to study.

that’s cool you are thinking of studying medicine in china, my mom worked at Sichuan University, and i have a couple of friend going there now. it’s one of the best in the country. you should try to google their website. they teach both western medicine and traditional chinese medicine. but i hope your chinese is ready to go, because chinese students are a lot more hardcore about school than students from many other countries. and i’m sure you can walk during holidays, i don’t know what the first guy was talking about, but i lived there for 15 years, and loved the place. good luck

I’m 14 years old and I want to do dog walking in my holidays for some pocket money but i don’t know how much to charge. I’m great with animals (dogs in particular) but this is the first time i’ve walked dogs for money. I just want to know how much i should charge and what are some tips for getting started?

Thanx

Check the yellow pages in your area and call some dog walkers. Act as if you’re interested in hiring them to walk your dog and find out what they charge. Get a few prices from different dog walkers. This way you will know what others are charging and you can charge a little less. If you just set a certain price without research you can either charge too much or way too little. If you charge 5 and everybody else charges 15 then you are losing out on money. If that was the scenario then you could charge 10 which is still less than the others, but twice as much as you would of made without calling them. Just don’t walk more than you can handle and find out from the owners if there are any problems with the dog i.e. the dog chases cats, hates other dogs, has a leg that acts up, etc. And like somebody else said, you are soley responsible for the dogs while they are in your care. Even if they bite someone.

you mean working holidays blueprinting- I dont think you will get a working holiday in that – try working in a pub – labour -
