Description:

New Mom’s, Active Ager’s, and Everyone In-Between!

Did you know that Nordic Walking Fitness:

• Is NOT specifically a Senior or Older Adult activity? It’s for everyone!
• Burns up to 46% more calories than standard walking, activates the core and sculpts arms and shoulders.

• Uses 90 percent of your muscles—especially those underused upper body muscles, contributing to great posture and improved balance at any age.

Whatever your age, Nordic Walking is a terrific way to be both social and active with friends and family. It’s also a great way for new Mom’s to get back into fitness – strap on your child carrier and get outside for some fresh air and a change of scenery. Nordic Walking is an all-in-one energizing, mood boosting, cardio and muscle building fitness activity for all ages and abilities.

Learn the benefits of walking with Nordic Walking fitness poles, the differences between fitness poles and hiking poles, and how to set their height to obtain optimal results when walking with them. We will then take them to the street and learn the “plant, push, and propel” technique that makes this activity such a great full body, cardio, core, and strength workout.
