Walk Description:

Nordic walking, or as we call it, Total Body WALX, is an exceptional, low-impact, full-body exercise perfect for prenatal and postpartum women. It is a specialised form of walking that involves using walking poles, which helps to engage the upper body muscles while taking pressure off the knees and lower back. This is ideal for pregnant women who want to maintain their fitness level without putting too much strain on their joints.

Total Body WALX (TBW) is proven to help post-partum women regain their fitness level and strengthen their core muscles after giving birth. It also significantly improves posture and balance, which is particularly beneficial during pregnancy and after childbirth.
