What we’re about
This is a group of like-minded people who want to use Nordic Walking to make their normal walking experiences more healthy and effective. Nordic Walking is a way to go for a nice walk and use not only the normal leg muscles that are the only muscles used in walking, running, or biking, but to also use the arms and upper body muscles to “push”, through specially designed poles on each step. When done using the correct 10-step Nordic Walking procedure, nearly 90% of the body’s muscles will be fully activated on each step, burning more calories, improving cardiovascular function, and reducing strain on hips and knees. Correct Nordic Walking also helps improve balance, posture, and spine alignment. It is easy and fun and can be done anywhere you can walk, with friends, or alone.
We meet and do Nordic Walking at a variety of local venues in the Sarasota Bradenton area. Formal training is available for those not already familiar with Nordic Walking.
For those who would like more information about Nordic Walking, please see the attached video link.
The 30-minute video is the “classroom” portion of our formal Nordic Walking training. Formal training for walkers new to Nordic Walking is regularly scheduled through our Meetup group for those who want to get the most out of their Nordic Walking experience.
Please don't hesitate to let us know, if you have any questions.
Thank you.
