Nordic Walking

Nordic Walking in beautiful Ross-shire and Inverness-shire.

What is Nordic Walking?

Nordic Walking is fitness walking using specially designed walking poles.

Nordic walking exercises the whole body using 90% of the muscles in the body.

The upper body gets a workout with the big muscles around the shoulders and neck being worked properly as well as the arms.Tension in these muscles is released and the spine is strengthened-this can help back pain.

Nordic Walking also provides an excellent workout.You get your heart beating an average 5-17 times more per minute than normal walking. Many of the benefits can be put down to the use of poles.These improve your posture and help you to walk faster,by propelling your body forward thus increasing the length of your stride.

Why not give it a try?

The providers below do short 2hr/half day and full day walks on lovely forest tracks, taking in the scenery and the wildlife!

You can have a one to one lesson, or join a small group of like minded people.

Call or e-mail to book a lesson. You can choose the location and the local expert will provide instruction and the poles!
