Join a walk this Autumn
Autumn is a great time to go Nordic walking. It's a mood-boosting way to stay fit and well. I hope you can join me either at Haldon Forest Park or on a Dartmoor walk soon.
WHAT IS NORDIC WALKING?
Originating from Finland in the 1930's Nordic walking engages the upper body as well as the legs. By using poles to propel yourself, you walk faster and feel lighter.
Nordic walking is low impact and if done correctly, it's a full-body workout, burning 20 - 40% more calories than ordinary walking.
The correct placement of the pole, combined with the rhythmic nature of Nordic walking, also helps improve joint range of motion, posture, and balance.
Public Health England recommends Nordic walking as an effective way to improve health and wellbeing.
