Nordic Walking East Anglia Katharine and Mary run regular walks and Beginners’ workshops that are sociable and fun. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF NORDIC WALKING? Social and fun

Nordic Walking is the fastest growing form of fitness in the UK and is a technique of walking with specially designed Nordic Walking Poles, derived from cross country skiing. It can be adapted to be enjoyed by a wide range of people regardless of fitness level, age or gender. Weight Loss You can burn up to 46% more calories than with ordinary walking by using the poles. By spreading the effort across 90% of your skeletal muscles you do not perceive the increased effort. Tone your upper arms and trim your waist. Posture and Tension: The technique emphasises a good posture and involves rotating the shoulders. This helps you release tension in the neck and shoulders and relearn the best posture for your body. Strengthen your back and abdominal muscles. Reduce the impact on the joints. The poles bear the impact of walking, not your joints. Being a weight bearing exercise, it is excellent for bone health.
