Nordic walking is an increasingly popular fitness activity in Devon. One of my goals at Nordic Walking Devon is to raise awareness about the benefits of Nordic walking - to get more people out there giving it a go.
Burning 20% - 40% more calories than ordinary walking, Nordic walking is about using Nordic walking poles for propulsion. By using your upper body, as well as your legs, you work all of your major muscles, without putting unnecessary strain on your joints. It's an activity that can be done at a variety of levels; at a basic level to simply maintain wellbeing or at the other extreme, athletes, such as cross country skiers, use it to maintain fitness.
Nordic Walking is a sociable, outdoor activity that's easy to learn and affordable. So why not come along to one of my free taster sessions and see if Nordic Walking is for you? I run sessions at Haldon Forest Park, near Exeter and National Trust Killerton. I am sure that you will love it!
