It gives you a highly effective all over workout that doesn’t feel like one. How will Nordic Walking benefit your body? Nordic Walking combines the simplicity of walking with core and upper body conditioning similar to Nordic skiing. This gives you a full body workout, which means that you can: Burn around 20% more calories compared to walking without poles. Release tension in your neck and shoulders. Improve your posture and gait. Strengthen your back and abdominal muscles. Reduce the impact on your joints. And because Nordic Walking doesn’t feel like hard work you’ll be happy to walk further and for longer. Is Nordic Walking for you? 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. Whatever your age, from 8 to 80+, you’ll enjoy discovering the benefits of Nordic Walking that improve your quality of life. Lee Valley run a weekly session from Fishers Green at 10:00.
