EXERCISE WITH POLES

Nordic Walking is new and is being hailed as the best exercise known to man.

IT’S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH POLES

Learn the skills of Nordic Walking

Learn how to trek

Learn how to run with poles- (not compulsory)

Learn how to jump with poles- (only for the fittest)

Learn how to stretch your muscles and mobilise your joints

WHY IS GOOD FOR YOU?

Nordic Poling is a great way to lose weight as you can use up to 40% more calories than normal walking. You use 90% of your muscles in Nordic Poling as compared to about 60% when walking normally, because this system spreads the load, therefore reducing the stress on hips, knees and ankles and strengthens the back, arms and shoulders and also mobilises the spine. Nordic Poling improves heart and lung function because it will get you into your aerobic zone by increasing your oxygen intake by up to 25%.

Nordic Poling gets you out of a stuffy gym and into fresh air and you will meet nice people. Is there anything else?... Oh yes, its really good fun!

THE COURSE

We meet on Sunday mornings at the Good Health Centre for tea and toast, followed by a twenty minute talk about the history and benefits of Nordic Poling. We then drive up to the car park on Scout Road and there we teach the skill of Nordic Poling. We then go off for a trial walk through some beautiful countryside. The course includes free use of the poles.
