Walk Description:

These WALX make every step count! Total Body walking™ is a unique mix of drills, strength exercises, the use of nordic walking poles and other innovative fitness walking kit to help target the upper body too. Delivered by our fully qualified Instructors who will plan WALX that work on all aspects of fitness and make the most of being Outdoors!

For those who have completed the Power of Poles Introduction course – these action-packed sixty-minute walks are designed to help you to improve your fitness levels and gain FAST results. Your qualified WALX Guide will encourage you to push your pace and use the stunning Cannock Chase hills to add intensity to this fast paced Total Body Walx.

Total Walking is an enhancement of ordinary walking and has its roots in Nordic Walking – it makes something we can all do… twice as effective! Total Body Walking uses poles to add major benefits to walking.

The upper body muscles are used as well as the legs Propel the walker along – this means you works harder than usual yet the support given by the poles makes it feel easier! Protects lower limb joints reducing injury Improves posture and aids breathing

Total Body 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.

Variety is the key to any progression, so these Total Body WALX will continually change in location, hills and intensity.

Our WALX Guides are professional, qualified and passionate about making our WALX unforgettable!
