Course Description

Nordic Walking is fun, especially in a group! It is not a “balance� walking program. We do NOT use trekking, hiking or stability poles. It is an outdoor fitness regimen--using specialized poles with attached gloves-- that builds upper body strength as you walk, increases aerobic capacity and allows wellness walkers to turn their daily walk into a full body workout. The poles reduce impact and load on the joints of the body by as much as 30%; activate 90% of the body’s muscles; help prevent arthritis and relieve neck/back pain. The benefits are innumerable and the activity can be enjoyed, regardless of age or fitness level, for a lifetime. Go ahead, Google it; you'll see.
