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).

We will be arranging training, on days/dates according to demand. Please get in touch with your availability and we can take this into account in our planning.

TRAINED NORDIC WALKERS SESSIONS

Fitness Walks are designed as a fun and sociable way to increase your fitness levels. Fully trained Nordic Walking instructors will provide you with motivation, support and guidance to help you to gradually hone/improve your technique and pace (and meet and chat with other nice people) which consequently help you to increase your walk pace, walk intensity and improve physical strength and stamina and achieve weight-loss and toning goals. Nordic Walking in a group is great motivation and can make a real difference to people's fitness levels. You can join in the chat/laughter, as much, or as little as you wish, or focus on the improvement of your technique/pace, all in a beautiful green space (Followed by a social visit to the café!)
