Nordic Workout Walks
Nordic Workout Walks – we make Working Out a walk in the park! This is exercise that suits everyone. Soft on the joints, great for neck, shoulder and back, and easy on the knees and joints. Most of our clients feel relief within a couple of sessions.
Our Workout walks always last approximately one hour. These walks are designed to get results, and to make you feel healthier, fitter and happier soon. We make sure you work at a level that will get the most out of every step you take. Our focus is on progression, variety… and fun! We will use your existing skills and build on it, making sure you keep motivated and inspired!
Our intermediate and advanced Workout Walks include our famous four minute High Intensity Interval Training. Yes, only four minutes, but so, so, so effective! And we guarantee, you will even think it is fun!
Never done Nordic Walking before, then please first sign up for our four week technique classes. In these four weeks we have ample of time to show you the basic techniques, that are quite simple when you get the hang of it, but can be pretty confusing when you just start. Doing the four week course is much nicer for you, and you won’t feel you are holding up the group of more experienced Nordic Walkers either.
Once you have completed the four week Learn to Nordic Walk course, you can take part in any of our walks, weekends and holidays. In order to participate in a walk, please RSVP on Meetup or text us before 8 pm the evening before.
We walk in all safe weather conditions – if a walk is cancelled, we will contact you to let you know (We can only do so if we know you are coming!)Please check for text messages before leaving home or join our Meetup Group to receive updates.
Sydenham woods:
Monday 7.00 pm: Workout walk and strength training
We meet at the entrance gate of Cox’s walk, opposite the closed down pub that used to be called the Harvester, at the junction of the South circular and Lordship lane. In summer we will explore this beautiful ancient woodland, part of what once was the great North wood. In winter we tend to stay in the well lit area of Cox’s walk. We combine Nordic Walking with our Gymstick bungies to turn this session into a fun and super effective training. Great if you plan to go skiing this winter!
