Recommend a friend. If they sign up to a Learn to Nordic Walk course you get a FREE group walk!
Show me one of your regular walks, and you get this as a free* group walk!
* If you are on a termly membership, this does not apply, because walks are at such a reduced rate.
For commitment to a fitness routine, it helps to sign up in advance. The best way to keep fit is to exercise regularly. To maintain cardiovascular fitness, it is recommended to exercise 3-5 times a week with a maximun heart rate of 55-90% between 20-60 minutes. Nordic Walking fits this perfectly, as it is continuous rhythmic activity, and uses the large muscle groups.
