All Seasons Nordic Walking

08/10/2023

FRILUFTSLIV - which literally translates as "free-air life" - seems to hold the key to Norwegian happiness and in reality it means spending time outdoors as well as a spiritual connection with nature.

This love of nature is taught early in Norway with toddlers spending 80% of their time outside.

Friluftsliv is beneficial to physical health because it often involves exercise, but the mental benefits are just as important. Studies show that being in green spaces helps reduce anxiety and improve cognition. Being social with others while appreciating nature is another important aspect of friluftsliv.

Can we embrace friluftsliv, even if we live far from wild places?

Our Nordic Walking UK groups prove that you can! Nordic Walking is an outdoor exercise that is suitable for EVERYONE and ensures you can have your own bit of FRILUFTSLIV in the forest or in the park, on a long hike or a short lunch break walk.
