This Men’s Health Week, it’s time to change the perception of Nordic walking.
In the UK, especially, many men still think Nordic walking is only for the older generation.
It isn’t.
Nordic walking is a serious full-body workout used by athletes, fitness enthusiasts, outdoor lovers, and people looking for a highly effective low-impact way to train.
It works as an excellent cross-training activity alongside running, cycling, rowing, golf, strength training, and other sports. You build fitness, coordination, posture, mobility, and endurance while reducing joint impact.

Here at Nordic Nomads we love to welcome men into the group, whatever you reasons for coming! We cater for all abilities and fitness levels. Want to challenge yourself? -join us Nordic walking at Parkrun, want to improve your posture and balance? -join us at Tetbury Goods Shed, want to be more mindful and improve your mental health? -join us at Westonbirt Arboretum. Want to explore your local countryside with like-minded folk? - join our Freedom or Explorer Nordic walks each month!

British Nordic Walking instructors, like our Instructor Tash, teach using the internationally recognised INWA 10 Step Method™, so you get the full benefit from the very start.

Every Friday we set off from The Goods Shed in Tetbury at 9:30am for a 5km Nordic Walk. Sometimes we walk out and back on the Tetbury Trail and sometimes we walk a loop in the countryside surrounding Tetbury. Last Friday was a fan favourite route!

Blustery showers and sunshine today on our June Freedom Nordic Walk. This month we walked another stretch of the Athelstan Pilgrim Way from Charlton to Hankerton, but making it circular by returning to Charlton on a different path Thanks to Philip the churchwarden at Holy Cross Church in Hankerton for his warm welcome, cake and tour! Lots of interesting history including pilgrim graffiti on the outside! We got stamps for our passport instead of marking the walls! We walked through some beautiful fields of wild daisies on our return leg

Today on our monthly Explorer Nordic Walk we walked another stretch of the Athelstan Pilgrim Way! Starting in Garsdon and walking almost 6 miles to Brinkworth. It was hotter than predicted and hard work due to so many fields of long grass to wade through! There were several double stiles to negotiate and most of the stiles along the route were in disrepair! Clearly this route is not one that is walked very often! We walked through Brinkworth Golf Course and avoided flying golf balls before heading along a lovely gravel bridleway and reaching St Michael and All Angels church. A lot of history within those walls! A well deserved Sunday lunch followed at the Three Crowns Pub!

This morning we Nordic walked a fan favourite Friday route! Our 9.30am session from Tetbury Goods Shed out and around Tetbury through stunning wild flower meadows with glorious sunshine, good chat, a few stiles to practice clambering over and coffee at the end! Fab way to end the week!
