Training

Nordic Walking has grown into a popular way for people of all ages and abilities to gain fitness and improve their health. Unlike when trekking or rambling, Nordic Walking poles are planted behind you in order to propel you along. This engages the upper body and makes you feel lighter on your feet, which has four major advantages.

You use 90% of your major muscles so your upper body gets toned as well as your legs.
You can burn 20–40% extra calories by using the poles - this can really help with weight loss.
It takes the pressure off your knees and joints and is great for back and neck problems.
You can get the most out of even a fairly short walk!

At the end of the session you will have a full understanding of using poles correctly and can join our walks.

Training sessions are normally held on the first Saturday of the month by our qualified Nordic Walking Instructors. If you are interested in attending please let us know via our CONTACT page.

We meet in the lower car park at Erddig Hall at 09.30 for a 10.00 start.

Loan poles are provided.

There is a short registration form to complete.

We ask for a voluntary contribution of £1.
