How & Why I Started Nordic Walking
“Take up Nordic Walking? ย No Way!” ย I said.
When I returned to the UK in 2010 after working and living overseas, I was recommended by my peers to add Nordic Walking to my instructor tool box.
I was totally not interested in walking with poles….until I tried it. I was amazed at what a good workout it was and how it made regular walking so much easier… The rest is history.
I now use my poles religiously when I go on challenging walks and have been teaching Nordic Walking for over 10 years.
Where Does Nordic Walking Come From?
Nordic Walking owes it roots to cross country skiing, used as a summer training exercise for skiers to maintain their fitness during the snowfree months. But don’t panic! It is as easy or as hard as you want to make it! ย However, it is important to be taught the correct technique using proper Nordic Walking poles in order to enjoy effective and safe walking (see course information below).
