TYPES OF SESSIONS

 

ONE-DAY INTENSIVE NORDIC WALKING TASTER/TECHNIQUE TRAINING COURSE (TOTAL BEGINNERS)

 

Note: The three training sections (of the one-day course), can be taken on separate dates, if required/preferred. See more in note section below. *

 

Training is delivered to you by: A Fully Trained, Insured, First Aid Trained Nordic Walking Instructor (not just walk leaders)

 

Course Description

 

The course is a practical, light-hearted, one-day training course, and is designed for those new to Nordic Walking (poles are provided).

 

How you will learn, in brief

  • Group and Individual instruction, practice, and ongoing feedback/help/support/advice throughout.
  • Only three techniques learnt in each section (giving you time to digest and practice each one).
  • Re-touching on learnt techniques throughout (helping you to bring the technique all together).
  • In a professional but friendly, supportive, encouraging, pressure-free, enjoyable environment.

 

What you will learn, in brief

  • The different elements/designs of poles enabling understanding, and informed selection/purchasing.
  • Correct measurement/set-up of the poles for you, individually.
  • What Nordic Walking is, how it started.
  • The benefits of Nordic Walking, and differences from ordinary walking/hiking.
  • The full/correct Nordic Walking technique (at your own level).
  • How to establish the basic movement patterns / positioning / coordination for Nordic Walking.
  • Advice on useful kit/poles.

 

* Note: The one-day sessions have been very successful, rather than the previous approach of finding three consecutive weeks for the training. However, the whole day’s training can be too much in one session for some folks, this is not an issue at all, and you can leave after Part A (Taster) and join Part B and C on another training day (see timetable below for Part A/B/C timings), many folks have done it this way, and it has also worked very well.

The Taster is free - if you don't wish to continue with the T1 and T2 after the Taster session, we will refund your £59.00, in full, after the taster session. (We've found this approach discourages last minute cancellation/encourages a commitment to attending the sessions, which take significant time/work to organise. Your understanding is appreciated).
