Walk Description:

A gentle safe way to walk yourself fitter! These walks include exercises that help with flexibility, balance and strength whilst using poles to improve general fitness and increase joint mobility

These gentle Nordic walking fitness sessions or wellness walks will suit you if you are worried about pace or distance. These sessions will help you become fitter and stronger if you have medical conditions, joint problems or are returning to exercise after being inactive. We take in to account your abilities and plan the route accordingly so you can be sure to exercise at the pace that is right for you.   Nordic walking is interspersed with balance, strength, relaxation and smovey work outs

Runcorn Hill and Heath offers varied terrain, flat park land areas, heather covered heath land, fields, tarmac paths and sandstone cliffs.

“Although I suffer from some joint and back problems I had never given serious thought to taking up regular exercise. When I did have a go on my own I openly admit I did not have the will power to sustain my limited efforts.A friend who is less mobile than me introduced me to Nordic WellBeing classes. A Group participates in these classes under the guidance of a trained and competent Instructor, who not only programs and leads group exercises but also finds time to provide and encourage individuals. Participation in these classes has encouraged me to be more mobile , has increased my self confidence , whereby I am no longer afraid to tackle exercises I would not have done some months ago and has certainly improved my feelings of well being.My wife joins me in these classes and she also testifies to their beneficial effects.I would thoroughly recommend these Nordic Walking Courses to anyone, young or older who wishes to enhance their capabilities to feel well and better. In particular I would strongly recommend the Wellbeing sessions with the competent and effective instructor Kerley and her assistant instructor, Ted Rose who organises them.Bleddyn (84)

“Nordic Walking makes me feel more alive and more mobile, as well as having people to talk to other than the four walls!”
