Treat yourself to a taste of Nordic Walking and turn your daily walk into an all body workout. This class will introduce you to the benefits, poles and basic technique and then let you take your first walk to experience the goodness of Nordic Walking for yourself. Poles will be available for use during this class. Wear good walking shoes and come prepared to discover your new favorite walk with more energy and less stress!

Why just walk when you can Nordic Walk? With poles in hand you can take your daily walk to the next level enjoying a more upright balanced posture, whole body workout and improved overall fitness. Learn about the benefits (cardio fitness, weight management, bone density, less pain, more confidence) and the specifics of the poles followed by instruction on basic technique and your first Nordic walk. The second week gives us time to work on our technique and begin to maximize the upper body workout with the poles. It's fun, it's easy to learn and it's a great outdoor activity. This class is suitable for all levels of fitness. Poles will be provided for use in class. Wear good walking shoes and come prepared to walk with more energy and less stress!
