Walk Description:

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.
