Nordic Walk on Wandsworth Common
If you’ve made it this far, you’ll probably know that Nordic walking has all the benefits of normal walking and so much more. Here’s a quick reminder:
- Tones the upper as well as the lower body, especially the backs of the arms — helping you to look good all over.
- Low impact and easy on the joints — so reducing the risk of injury.
- Helps prevent the onset of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma, stroke and some cancers — to live a longer, happier life.
- Burns up to 45% more calories than normal walking — helping to keep your weight under control.
- Leaves you feeling uplifted and energised. Sharing the joy of outdoor exercise with a fun group of like-minded women definitely gives you the feel good factor!
Best of all, Nordic walking is totally inclusive, whatever your fitness level…
Why Me Spot?
When you join a Me Spot Nordic walking course, it’s way more than just a walk!
You’ll be joining a sociable group of friendly and supportive women who want to stay healthy and fit, but like to have fun while they’re at it.
Nordic Walking has been a great revelation. I have witnessed improvement in my joints, muscles and general fitness and nothing can beat exercising outdoors in the company of a wonderful group of friends. It is a great workout for mind, body and soul.
Nordic walking is a treat that I give myself. Having become disillusioned with the gym, swimming pools and highly competitive, over-energised classes, this outdoor activity suits and challenges my ability whilst enabling me to meet with a really nice group of women.
After just 4 sessions of Nordic walking, I can feel the difference in my cardiovascular fitness, and in my arms and legs… I recommend anyone to try this as a low-impact way of doing more than just walking.
I joined Me Spot while recovering from breast cancer and a mastectomy. Lindsay and the rest of the girls in the Nordic Walking group were welcoming and encouraging as I built up my strength and got going again. Their enthusiasm and support went a long way to rebuilding my confidence, and there were lots of laughs along the way.
Nordic walking classes get the heart pumping and provide a healthy dose of fun! Importantly, I’ve learned that exercise can be enjoyable again, and that you should never give up on being 'fit at forty' (or fifty, sixty…)
