Course Description
Get in shape faster with Nordic Walking by burning 20-46% more calories than regular walking, strengthening the upper body, and taking the stress off the lower body. Learn a brief history, benefits, and styles of Nordic Walking. You’ll learn your personal correct pole height and experience the foundational technique of Nordic Walking and how it is different than trekking or “just walking with poles.” After this class you’ll have the foundation to build upon, either on your own or in a class setting. Wear athletic shoes, no sandals. Poles provided.
