Boost your fitness and overall wellbeing with our Nordic Walking for Beginners course in Sydney. This engaging outdoor class introduces you to a dynamic style of walking that works the entire body while remaining low impact and accessible.
Using specially designed walking poles similar to ski poles, Nordic Walking enhances your natural arm swing and engages your upper body, helping you burn more calories than regular walking. By planting the poles behind you and pushing forward, you activate your core, improve posture and gently rotate the torso, resulting in an efficient and energising workout.
Suitable for non-athletes and active individuals alike, Nordic Walking offers up to 46% more calorie burn than standard walking, with less stress on knees and joints than jogging. Train with a Nordic Walking Australia accredited instructor and enjoy a supportive, practical and social fitness experience.
