Welcome
​
Nordic Walking has been around for sometime and it now seems to be rapidly growing in popularity as an outdoor activity. You have probably seen people walking with what looks like ski poles, and I can assure you they are not looking for snow...
​
Nordic Walking turns a walk into a workout without much more effort. These specific poles propel you as you walk just by using the same natural swing of your arm. It uses more muscle groups, it eases pressure on joints and lower back.
It encourages great posture which opens your lungs to breathe in all the fantastic oxygen that fuels your body. But the best thing really is that it gets you outdoors and it is proven that outdoor exercise has more benefits than indoor gyms.
​
Nordic walking is suitable for all and different abilities, getting back to fitness, recovering from injuries or cross training for different sports
Nordic Walking Fit is about engaging people in outdoor activity with movement, mindfulness and being part of nature. Sociable fitness for mind soul and body.

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.
​
If you are unsure if this is for you we offer Taster Sessions where you come and give it a try.
This last for an hour and we show the Basic Technique and progressively walk you through to fully understand what these specific poles do to add to a normal walk.
​
