Come join us for a Nordic Walking Clinic
You are invited to try this amazing new activity.
Why just walk when you can
nordic walk!
Clinics are approx 1 hour in length and will provide you with a great practical
experience under the instruction of a certified urban poling/nordic walking
instructor.
Participants will learn pole
adjustment/set up, proper form and technique and a little history about nordic
walking. Poles will be provided for you to try or you can
bring your own.
The use of poles helps to burn 20-46% more calories, reduces
stress to your hips, knees, ankles and promotes greater stability, balance and posture. A complete workout involving all the major muscles of your body, especially upper
body and core region. The technique is easy to learn, fun and suitable for people of all ages and most fitness levels.
