Nordic Walking is a total body exercise that is easy on the joints and suitable for all ages and fitness levels. If you can walk, you can Nordic Walk! It really is for everyone. It is performed with specially designed Nordic walking poles. When used correctly, the poles take the weight off the knees and lower body joints – this makes you feel lighter on your feet. The poles engage the arm muscles and boost the intensity of the exercise. This makes the walking action more aerobically challenging and encourages good posture. On any surface, the poles provide more stability for walkers who have balance, knee or leg problems. It is so much more than walking! Do come along & give it a try.
