Nordic Walking helps releive back pain, reduces joint stress, improves rehabilitation and can reduce the effects of repetitive stress injuries (RSI). It does not matter how fast you walk as the class caters for all abilities.

It burns more calories than normal walking, between 20 - 46% more, which means it takes less offort to work off the extra cream bun, doughnut or chocolate bar. Try something new, and easy to learn, great value for money activity.
