Nordic PoleWalking

Learn how to do Nordic Polewalking or Nordic Walking or PoleWalking or Walking with Sticks — however you want to call it.
We are polewalking on the Naples Beach & The Gordon River Greenways for the past 20 years already & are fitter because of it. This exercise is burning approx 45% more calories over just walking without poles because you engage your upper body.

………………….
Saturday morning — stretching & newcomer instructions begins 7:30 A.M. right on the beach @14th Ave South Beach Access in Olde Naples (South from the Naples Pier).
Depending on your fitness level, this 5 mile, 1.5 hour Nordic Polewalk takes us from 14th Ave South Beach Access along the Olde Naples & Port Royal Beaches to Gordon Pass & back. After the walk we have coffee on the beach. So bring your chair, coffee & pastries.

Wear sneakers and a light exercise outfit for walking on the beach. Bring along water in a drink-belt or backpack, wear a hat & sunscreen.

If you are in need to rent walking poles, please arrive a few minutes earlier at the PARKING LOT.

THIS IS AN EXERCISE WALK & NOT FOR BAREFOOT or SANDALS WALKING!!
It’s NOT a stroll on the beach for collecting shells. So we insist that you wear closed walking shoes like sneakers & take water along your walk in a drink belt or backpack! It's detrimental to your health to not drink water during this walk, especially during the hot summer months. Wear a hat & sun protection to protect against overheating on sunny and hot days.
