Nordic Walking, Stevens Park – Wollescote

Nordic walking is a fitness technique that uses walking poles in order to give you a whole-body workout which helps to strengthen the immune system and joints such as the back and knees. It is also good for your mental wellbeing as you walk, talk, and make friends with your fellow walkers. It is suitable for all levels of fitness and adjustable Nordic poles are provided.

Each session will consist of a one-hour walk interlaced with some simple exercises to aid strength and mobility.

Sturdy walking shoes recommended (not boots). Meeting place is in the Sensory Garden area, just off the main car park.
