What is Nordic Walking, and Why do I need a lesson?
Nordic Walking:
• is a fun, full-body workout that can be enjoyed all year round and is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels.
• It not only challenges your muscles while training cardiovascular endurance, balance and coordination, but it is a great stress reliever.
• It’s not difficult to learn, but it’s not super easy either. A lesson will give you the confidence to enjoy all the benefits of this great workout.
Why Nordic Walking?
Nordic Walking turns a simple walk into a full-body workout by using specially designed poles to engage
the upper body and core. The benefits include:
• Improved cardiovascular fitness
• Better posture and balance
• Reduced stress on joints
• Increased calorie burn compared to regular walking
• Boosted mood from being outdoors and moving with purpose
This is a FUN, accessible, and empowering activity for all fitness levels. Whether you're looking to stay active, meet new people, or try something new, this is the perfect way to start your day.
