Nordic walking turns a simple walk around the block into an efficient, effective, aerobic total-body workout and it is easy to learn - if you can walk, you can learn to Nordic Walk. From the moment I picked up the poles it just felt right - my background as a Physiotherapist may have helped but it really is an easy, instinctive and natural way to walk. By harnessing the upper body a simple walk be
comes an effective whole body exercise whilst actually feeling easier than 'normal walking' - my body, particularly my legs and feet really miss the poles when I am not using them! Over the years I have enjoyed sharing my passion with friends and family and decided it was time to take the next step and start officially teaching others. I hope to inspire people and show them that exercising does not need to be a chore and you do not need to head to the hills to enjoy the benefits of regular walking. Simply pick up your poles and head out of the front door! Nordic Walking can be as hard or as easy as you make it, the choice is yours - whether you want to get fit; stay fit; burn calories to help with weight loss or add a new cross-training activity to your current fitness regime. Best of all I have found it so easy to incorporate into daily life - if you are walking somewhere, you may as well Nordic Walk. Make every walk count!
