Nordic Forest Fitness - Autumn Term

Service Description

Keep fit at Haldon Forest Park with Nordic Forest Fitness. Walk the forest trails in a purposeful way, working every muscle in your body and challenge your cardiovascular fitness. As a group we walk a different circuit every week, adding shuttle runs on one of the hills. As part of the session also undertake strength, agility and balance training using hand weights and body weight. Please note that by committing to the whole term you can set fitness goals at the beginning and make fitness gains over time. Please bring your own 1K, 2K or 3K weights and bands and feel free to carry them on the walk for some ‘rucking’ to enhance metabolic burn (due to more weight) and improve bone density and muscular strength by increased load. If you don’t have your own weights Fiona has several spares. Maintaining muscle mass and bone density is important as we age, and lifting weights certainly helps with this. Continual training on Nordic walking technique will be provided as part of the class. Advice will be given around heart rate monitoring and cardiovascular fitness week on week. Full meeting details and a health questionaire will be sent to you upon booking. The class is run by Fiona Swan fully qualified and insured Nordic walking instructor and personal trainer who has trained with both British Nordic Walking and has over 12 years experience of teaching individuals of all levels of fitness to Nordic Walk. Nordic walking, or alternative poles may be hires for £2 a session for the class. Thank you for booking and I look forward to meeting you soon. Fiona
