We are currently on holiday. Our online sessions will resume on Monday 30 May 2022.
Hope to see you then!

Exercise can slow down the progression of Parkinson’s, and Covid 19 is no reason not to move! Join our fun Zoom class and stay fit and healthy.

From the comfort and safety of your own home, we now offer this exercise class designed for people in the early stage of Parkinson’s and their friends or partners.

Inspired by PD Warrior, we run espescially designed classes, in which normally combine Nordic Walking with exercises designed to slow down the progression of Parkinson’s. Our members love it, and we can really see the difference in the members who have been with us for a while!

From the start of Quarantine during the Covid 19 outbreak, we have adapted our normal classes to an interactive online session twice a week. so join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 11am for this fun and fast paced session.
If you have 1.5×1.5 meter space, a sturdy chair without arm rests and an internet connection, you are good to go.

It is sociable, fun, and keeps you in the best shape you can be, without ever leaving your home.

Be warned: Even though your results might feel like magic, key to the success of the programme is motivation to improve, AND the capacity and willingness to work hard.

The classes are based around 7 key principles:
o Powerful
o Complex
o Frequent
o High effort
o Meaningful in daily life
o Specific to symptoms
o Fun!

Once we can get back to Nordic Walking we will! So keep an eye out for our outdoor classes when quarantine time is over.

Nordic Walking has some very unique benefits for people with Parkinson’s:

• When we propel ourselves forward with the poles, we strengthen our core and arm muscles as well as our bums and legs.
• The poles help us with balance, and help take some weight of our joints;
• The poles challenge our coordination, which is great for our brain health;
• We use the features of the landscape and the poles to make sure we get our heart rates going;
• You can use up to 40% more calories Nordic Walking compared to normal walking;
• The poles give excellent feedback to our stride length and the amplitude of our arm swing;
• The poles help us check our symmetry in stride and arm swing;
• The poles help us keep our backs flexible and helps with trunk rotation;
• You can walk while you talk, so you can socialise and help keep each other motivated;
• The outdoors really helps with our wellbeing and relaxation; Our guarantee: No shouting instructor, but lots of fun and laughter. Your walk will feel like your weekly dose of sunshine, no matter the weather!
