Get Nordic Walking this Winter and save on heating!
If you are looking to keep warm during winter by learning to Nordic Walk please find attached details including dates, times and locations for our Nordic Walking Proficiency for Fitness courses for May.  For course calendar click HERE and for course outlines and costs click HERE. Simply email through your preferences for the type of course and dates and we'll let you know if there are spaces available and send through information needed to get to started.

Kristen Pratt and Nicky Gibbons are your Nordic Walking Coaches - what's your superpower??!! Check us out HERE.

You don't need to get poles before doing our courses - in fact we discourage it.  You will use our Nordic Walking poles during the course (including taking them home to practice and consolidate skills learnt) to ensure that Nordic Walking is for you before you invest in poles, to give you the opportunity to try out different models with different features and figure out what best meets your needs and to ensure that you are fitted with the correct length of pole - essential for getting maximum benefits and minimizing any chance of injury.
Exercise Right Week! Free Nordic Walking Information Sessions Thursday 23rd May

Come along to the World of Wellbeing to find out why millions of people – all ages and fitness levels – are enjoying the immense health and fitness benefits of Nordic Walking. It is affordable, fun, sociable and can be done anywhere by anyone. With the proper equipment and correct technique, there is a dizzying list of benefits and very little risk.

Research shows that Nordic Walking is far more effective than regular walking, running and cycling.

Nordic Walking tones and strengthens the upper body, back, arms and core, reduces stress on hips and knees, increases heart rate by over 25% and can burn over 45% more calories than regular walking. It also eases back and neck pain, promotes healthy upright posture and helps with balance and coordination.

Information about Capital Nordic Walking's Proficiency Courses for all ages and fitness levels will be available and there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and talk to our qualified instructors
