Wellbeing Walks

Nordic walks

Nordic walking is an enhanced walking technique that uses specially designed poles to work your upper body as well as your legs. The upper body action is very similar to that of classic cross-country skiing and is good for:

  • reducing the impact on knees and hips
  • improving your posture and gait
  • strengthening your back and abdominal muscles 

All our Nordic walks are walked at a moderate pace for 90 minutes.  

If you’d like to join our weekly Nordic walks, please bring your own poles if you have them, or you can walk without poles as they are not essential. There will be an instructor led warm up before the walk.

Check our programme to find out when and where Nordic walks take place.
