Nordic Walking

Whatever your age, fitness level or goal, Nordic Walking is suitable, effective and enjoyable for absolutely everyone!   Poles propel the walker along, making it easier to move faster than normal without feeling the effort or any stress on knees and joints.

 

It is also one of the most effective cross training techniques for athletes and sportspeople who require ultimate cardiovascular and endurance conditioning.

 

It's the best form of exercise for those looking to earn activity points at Weightwatchers as it burns more calories than ordinary walking and tones the whole body.

Pole hire is available so all you need is suitable, comfortable clothing and footwear.  It's so enjoyable and really sociable and you can chat as we go!
