The Power of Poles – learn to Nordic Walk

The Mill and Green Hearts Nordic Walkers walk every week at Douglas Eyre Sports Centre or on Walthamstow Marshes. You could join them. But first you must learn how to walk with poles, (Nordic Walking).

This 90 minute session at the Douglas Eyre Sports Centre will introduce you to Nordic Walking using poles with ledges and straps. The session will include:

• Introduction to poles with ledges and straps
• Warm up (mobility) exercises
• Using poles to walk more easily and improve fitness
• Cool down stretches

The group is limited to six places, so there will be lots of opportunities to ask questions and get to know your fellow participants.

On completion of the session, you will gain your Freedom Passport, that enables you to join all suitable Nordic Walking UK walks and classes.

At the end of the session you will have the opportunity to compare the differences between the two types of poles, so that you know which are best for you.

Priority is given to residents of Waltham Forest.

Poles are provided.
