A Nordic Walking Group for Members of Worcestershire Breat Unit Haven.

Nordic walking is the most perfect form of whole body exercise because it is gentle yet effective. It is easily accessible and a low cost way to exercise while enjoying the great outdoors.

The use of poles helps target the muscles that are often affected by breast surgery and the rhythmic action of the arms and the shoulders aids both lymphoedema and mobilisation.

Use Nordic walking to turn your walk into a workout! With Nordic walking the poles are used to propel the body forward allowing you to walk faster and stronger.

The POWER OF THE POLES Induction process is suitable for all levels and is a structured teaching programme. There are 2 Courses of one and a half hours each. Course 1 is designed to provide sufficient knowledge for someone to be proficient at using poles. Course 2 is an optional further course for those wanting to explore a more in-depth knowledge of walking with poles and the traditional Nordic Technique. I will help you to understand your current level of fitness and empower you to use poles at the correct intensity in order to get the results you want.

These courses will ensure you master the technique of using poles and change the way you walk for life. Course 1 will cover the following:

Gear 1: Mastering the arm swing, upper body engagement and pole plant angle.

Gear 2: Gaining propulsion from the pole and toe push, adapting pole position for hills and tailoring technique to your fitness, mobility and personal goals.

You will experience different poles types, the core ledge and straps in order to select the technique and poles that are right for YOU!

At the end of this session, you will have a full understanding of using poles correctly and be at a level where you will be issued with the NWUK Freedom Passport, allowing you to join walks & classes.

Dress to suit the weather, ensuring that you have suitable footwear. Please bring water in a small rucksack or bumbag, so that your hands are free. All poles are provided
