Nordic Walking & weight loss
You guys all know Denise, my great Walk Leader….some of you may not know however the amazing journey it took her to get to the fitness level she’s at today.  Above shows Denise when she started Nordic Walking with me a few years ago and the transition she went through to become the fit and healthy Wonder woman she is today!  With a good, healthy diet and Nordic Walking you can achieve significant positive changes too.   It’s all down to you and your commitment.  We are here to help you with your health & fitness goals and the truth is, we all work harder in a class. The social aspect makes a big difference and so keep coming, work hard and you too will see the many positive differences our Nordic Walking sessions can do for you.   “Do something today that your future self will thank you for.”

Path conditions

We do our best to take the safest routes on our walks but because we walk in the countryside etc, you will expect to find some paths on the muddy/slippy side this time of year.  The poles are great to help with balance but wearing the correct footwear is vitally important.   Give yourself space behind the person in front of you so you can see the terrain.   Thanks.
