Last Fall we offered Nordic Pole Walking and it was a huge hit with our club members. And it's back for 2024!
Please join Lorne for an afternoon of Nordic Pole Walking instruction!

This will teach you the many physical and mental health benefits of this emerging fitness trend. At the end of the walk, Lorne will lead a strength training session using the Nordic walking poles.

**Note: Nordic poles are required for this event. If you need to rent a set, please indicate "Yes" when you RSVP. The cost is $5.50 and we will email you an invoice.**

Nordic Pole Walking was initially developed as a way for cross-country ski teams to practice in warm weather. Nordic Pole Walking not only gives you an excellent endurance workout for your legs, heart and lungs, but the poles provide an upper body strength workout too. Nordic Pole Walking uses 90% of all body muscles and burns 47% more calories than regular fitness walking.

Nordic Pole Walking also...

* improves posture
* reduces joint pain
* strengthens bones
* Improves balance and muscular strength
* decreases depression
* and best of all, it’s easy to learn, easy to practice and fun to do in groups.
