Nordic Walking in Nature's Gym

Nordic Walking is an incredible activity that's perfect for everyone, no matter your age or fitness level. It's simple to learn and offers an effective way to get moving, using special poles to help you propel forward with confidence and grace.  

Imagine stepping outside into the refreshing embrace of nature, where every step brings a multitude of benefits! Research shows that Nordic Walking engages your body even more than a traditional gym session, thanks to the ever-changing terrain, the delightful unpredictability of the British weather, and the invigorating challenge of uneven ground. Training in the great outdoors elevates your oxygen levels and sparks the release of serotonin—the body's natural mood booster. This powerful mix not only lessens feelings of stress and anxiety but also uplifts your spirit, helping you venture through life with a joyful heart. You'll burn more calories than with ordinary walking while building strength in your shoulders, back, hips, and knees, all thanks to the way the poles promote excellent posture. Best of all, Nordic Walking is easy to learn, sociable, and a blast! Embrace your passion for the outdoors, and let’s embark on this exciting journey together! 

Join the welcoming Nordic Walking community in Salisbury and Amesbury, and uncover the beauty of our local surroundings alongside other like-minded adventurers. If you're new to this invigorating activity, you can kick off your journey with the 'Learn to Nordic Walk' course. Once you’ve completed it, you’ll be ready to join our regular group walks or even take part in thrilling day trips and Nordic Walking weekends, exploring further afield! 

Every Thursday, I host the Wellbeing Nordic Walk—the perfect opportunity to ease into fitness in a gentle, supportive environment. The pace is relaxed, and we stop along the way for enjoyable exercises that boost strength and mobility. With small groups, no one is ever left behind as you soak up the beauty of the countryside in a fun and friendly exercise class.

 Every Saturday brings the exhilarating Workout Nordic Walk, a high-energy one or two-hour session designed to enhance your fitness and deliver fantastic results while you revel in the stunning outdoors among fellow enthusiastic Nordic walkers.

Learn to Nordic Walk

Nordic Walking is an accessible and engaging form of exercise suitable for individuals of all fitness levels. As a qualified Nordic Walking Instructor with over a decade of experience, I offer the award-winning Learn to Nordic Walk course in Salisbury, tailored specifically for beginners. This course comprises two lessons, each lasting 1.5 hours. 

In the first lesson, you will learn the essential techniques of Nordic Walking. This includes understanding how to use the poles effectively to generate forward propulsion, engaging the appropriate upper body muscles, and mastering correct gait and coordination. Additionally, you will learn to properly grip the poles and use the pole straps, which is vital for developing an effective technique. 

The second lesson focuses on adapting your body position and pole angles for varied terrains, such as up and down hills. You will also work on increasing your walking speed by refining your technique, grasping how your body responds to exercise, and learning to exercise within your optimal training zone. This lesson emphasises the importance of distance, speed, and terrain in optimising your Nordic Walking experience. 

The course fee is £45.00 per person for small group sessions (maximum of six participants) or £80.00 for one-on-one instruction at a time that suits you. Attendance at both sessions is required to complete the course.
