Nordic Walking is an engaging and holistic outdoor activity that's rapidly growing in popularity—and for good reason! It's a simple way to turn an ordinary walk into an effective workout with minimal effort and maximum benefits. By using specially designed poles, Nordic Walking harnesses the natural swing of your arms to propel you forward, engaging more muscle groups than regular walking. This makes it a fantastic low-impact option that eases pressure on joints and the lower back.
Why Nordic Walking?
1. Enhanced Fitness
It activates your upper body and core, making it a full-body workout.
2. Joint-Friendly
The poles reduce strain on your knees and hips.
3. Better Posture
Standing tall and walking upright opens your lungs, improving oxygen intake for a rejuvenating boost of energy.
4. Outdoor Benefits
Being outside provides mental and physical health perks that surpass those of indoor exercise routines.
Who is it for?
Nordic Walking is suitable for everyone—whether you're starting a fitness journey, recovering from an injury, or looking for a cross-training option to complement other sports. It's an inclusive activity that adapts to various fitness levels and goals.
Beyond Exercise
Nordic Walking Fit promotes more than just physical fitness. It combines movement, mindfulness, and the restorative power of nature. It’s a sociable way to care for your body, mind, and soul while connecting with the outdoors and others in your community.

How to get Involved
Nordic Walking is more than just walking with poles, it is totally different to trekking or hill walking where you plant the poles in front for stability and balance. Nordic walking poles are different as they are lighter, thinner and have straps that connect you with the pole which makes the swing of the arm easier.
To gain the most benefits in this outdoor activity it is highly recommended to be taught with a qualified instructor.
