Walk Description:

This session is more about strength and conditioning than walking, but still we walk with the poles between exercise stations. All exercises are optional but are designed to help with flexibility, balance and strength. There are no hills in this session.

Gear 1 - A nice, easy and natural pace that you can do for extended periods with recovery periods where appropriate. Short hills might be introduced. 

Gear 2 - A faster pace gained through technique. There will be less recovery time.

Walk Description:

The Smovey is not simply a weight that you swing as you walk – this clever little device contains steel balls that move when you do and this has THREE amazing effects. First it increases your range of movement and secondly, it provides resistance which makes the Smovey feel heavier at some points as you swing it – and if that’s not enough….the Smovey also VIBRATES with every swing which increases the toning and energising effects. 

With Smovey, many exercises are possible that help to strengthen the muscles, mobilise the joints, increase coordination and stabilisation and increase the heart rate. The Smovey is the must-have exercise tool.
