Fundamentals of Nordic Walking Technique

 

Never tried Nordic walking before but keen to give it a go? 

Learned in the past but feel you could do with a refresher? 

Nordic Walking is a low-impact exercise that enhances the benefits of traditional walking by incorporating specially designed poles. It engages the entire body, improving balance, strength, posture and cardiovascular fitness. Gillian is a WALX Comunity Nordic Walking Instructor and offers fundamentals sessions for complete beginners, as well as weekly group Nordic walks in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.

Fundamentals of Nordic Walking Technique

"Took part in the Nordic Walking session today and it was brilliant. Poles included, we started with a nice warm up and were shown different techniques from beginners up to level 2 and 3. We were a nice mixed group of all ages and took it at our own pace. We also played a groups game and it didnt feel like 2 hours...passed by so quickly. Then we finished with a nice relaxing cool down using the poles. Gillian was very patient, explained everyting perfectly and helped each of us. Would highly recommend it to everyone" Gillian Perry
