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.

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.

Please note walkers must observe social distancing following government guidelines for COVD-19, and keep at least one metre plus apart. Masks are not required - although you may want to bring one if we are entering a cafe, shop or toilet facility.

Come along and enjoy a Nordic Walk but we will also use the poles to incorporate some balance, coordination and strength activities.  All of these are so important as we get older and want to remain fit and mobile!

No previous Nordic Walking experience is required and you do not need to do a Nordic Walking induction session prior to joining the class - I will teach the technique slowly and over a number weeks.

All sessions are pay as you go (but you do need to book prior to coming along) and there is no commitment required to come every week - but you may love it and will want to keep returning!
