Technique does really matter!!

That’s why at Walk Nordic we run technique master classes.

These are for people who have been Nordic walking with us for a while and would like to iron out any niggles and to master the technique to their full potential.

You have to feel it to understand it.. Evie teaches you this so that your technique is on point and so your body is getting the full benefit.

Come and join the tribe and find out for your self.

Tuesdays mornings Nordic Walk and Natter is always a feeling of community family, great conversation, fresh air and easy exercise. It really is such a join and everyone feels so refreshed after our walk. We even go for coffee afterwards if people have time to stop.

We’re back in The Independent!

After speaking to INWA National Trainer Katie Atkins about Nordic Walking, fitness journalist Harry Bullmore decided it was time to pick up the poles and experience it for himself.

Two hours, more than 10,000 steps and a proper introduction to Nordic Walking technique later, Harry discovered there’s far more to it than simply walking with poles.

From engaging the whole body and tackling hills to learning a new skill and getting outdoors, his verdict? He’ll be Nordic Walking again.

A brilliant read and another fantastic spotlight on Nordic Walking.

A lovely bit of local coverage in Lahti this morning.
