TopLearn to Nordic Walk Training Course
If you enjoy the taster session it is essential that you learn the full and correct Nordic Walking by attending Nordic Walking UK’s “Learn to Nordic Walk” training course. This is a structured teaching programme covering 4 hours. I deliver this mainly as two x 2hr. sessions.
The course will enable you to gain maximum benefits regardless of your fitness levels. It will also enable you to competently Nordic Walk on your own and attend any UK organised walks, including my own, when you are able.
