Nordic Walking is a fun and social activity that can be enjoyed in town centres or open countryside throughout the year. It is an enhanced walking technique that uses poles to work your upper body as well as your legs. It gives you a highly effective all over workout that doesn’t feel like one!

Specially designed poles are used to enhance your natural walking experience. Nordic Walking is a genuinely whole body exercise that can be enjoyed at many levels, at low, medium or high intensity. It’s an ideal activity if you haven’t exercised for a while or dislike traditional sports or gym activities. 

  • It is helpful if you have had an injury as the poles can support and guide you while you work to improve fitness as part of your rehabilitation.
  • It is great for athletes for cross training.  
  • It provides community groups with a sociable way to keep fit. 
  • And it’s fantastic if you’d like to shed a few pounds.
