Walk Description:

Our Easy Thursday morning walks are a great way to practice your technique and take a gentle approach to improving your technique. Great for those new to nordic walking or those looking for an easier walk level.

 Todays walk: A easier morning walk at Hungerford around the footpaths on the common and next to the canal. This route is flat but there maybe some muddy paths to negotiate. This walk is particularily suitable for those wanting to practice technique after their intial lesson.

 

Notes: Park in small car park adjacent to Downgate pub. Poles are provided for this lesson/walk.

Nordic Walking is an enhancement of ordinary walking – it makes something we can all do… twice as effective! Nordic Walking uses poles to in order to add two major benefits to walking.

The use of poles means the upper body muscles are used as well as the legs The poles help to propel the walker along – this means he/she works harder than usual yet the support given by the poles makes it feel easier!

Nordic Walking is a specific fitness technique and is not to be confused with trekking, hill walking or trail running as the poles are not planted in front of the walker/runner but in a specific way that increases the use of the upper body. It can be done by anybody, anywhere and does not require expensive equipment or clothing.

Note: To participate in regular Nordic WALX, you must have completed our Nordic Freedom Course.

Location Notes:

Free car park by Downgate pub. If the pub car park is full please park further along the common at next junction and walk back to meet us at the pub.
