New! Nordic Walking Workshops
Sunday April 22, Keynes Country Park, near Cirencester
Join expert tutor Cristina Robbins in this 'new' form of exercise which is taking the UK by storm - they have been doing it for years on the continent and we are just waking up to the benefits of this exhilarating and rewarding form of exercise which does so much more for you than just plain walking!
Originating from summer training for cross-country skiers, Nordic Walking works your upper and lower body at the same time, strengthening your back, legs and arms, and reducing neck and shoulder tension - all this while improving the health of your heart and lungs. And you can gain all these health benefits, and more, while Nordic Walking with your friends; exercise intensity is determined by upper body effort so people of differing fitness levels can walk and talk together, while working to their own level with Nordic Walking.
Workshops will last 1.5 hours, and will take place outdoors. The workshops are suitable for everyone, as long as you have not been advised against exercise by your GP. Children are welcome, but we recommend they are over the age of 7.
Cost: £12 / £10 ( Friends of CWPS) to include use of equipment and entrance charge to Keynes Park.
