An opportunity to try out Nordic Walking in a 45 minute taster session on Southampton Common in the centre of Southampton, this session is limited to 12 people so need to book early. These are fun outdoors sessions please dress for the weather.
We will meet at the far end of the Cemetry Road car park, please be there about 15 minutes before the session starts in order to get your poles sorted out and so that we can all start on time.
Nordic Walking is an enhancement of ordinary walking – it makes something we can all do… twice as effective! Nordic Walking uses poles to in order to add two major benefits to walking
– The use of poles means the upper body muscles are used as well as the legs
– The poles help to propel the walker along, this means he/she works harder than usual yet the support given by the poles makes it feel easier!
Nordic Walking is a specific fitness technique and is not to be confused with trekking, hill walking or trail running as the poles are not planted in front of the walker/runner but in a specific way that increases the use of the upper body. It can be done by anybody, anywhere and does not require expensive equipment or clothing.
