Nordic walking: Thursdays 10:00am to 11:00am

Nordic walking is a low impact walk using poles, which creates an enhanced technique to work both upper and lower body. When done correctly it can use 90% of the body’s muscles. It is a fun and social activity that can be enjoyed throughout the year. It's ideal for people that haven’t exercised in a while.

Current dates for 2025 are: 3 April, 15 and 22 May, 5, 12, 19 and 26 June.

Upcoming dates will be listed for future blocks.

Equipment will be provided.
