About this Event
Each week we will learn and apply the Nordic Walking technique from a qualified instructor. We will go for a walk from Bridgend Farm, take a cuppa along with us and enjoy being outside and sociable whilst being active.
Everyone is welcome, this class is for all abilities and poles will be provided.
Nordic walking is a great way of walking, why?
· Full-body workout: Works your arms, chest, shoulders, and core along with your legs.
· Higher calorie burn: Boosts your heart rate and burns significantly more energy than normal walking.
· Better posture: Opens your chest and strengthens your back from pushing on the poles.
· Joint protection: Takes weight off your hips and knees, making it easier on the lower body.
· Heart health: Builds aerobic fitness and endurance safely.
· Balance and stability: Gives you four points of contact, which helps prevent falls.
· Chronic condition support: Aids recovery and helps manage issues like arthritis, Parkinson's disease, and poor bone density.
If you have a health condition and unsure if Nordic Walking is for you please get in touch and we can work this through with you
