Background
Nordic Walking is a specific technique for walking with
poles that is far more effective in burning calories and
whole body toning than walking alone. Members will need to
have attended the training sessions, or be experienced
Nordic Walkers, and have their own Nordic walking poles.
Hiking poles are not suitable. Waterproof trainers are the
best footwear; walking boots are not flexible enough.
All walks will be in London Parks and
accessible by public transport. There will be two walks a
month, of varying lengths depending on location and will
accommodate the needs of people wanting shorter and longer
walks. They will all start with a warm up and end with a
cool down.
