Using specially designed poles, Nordic Walking is a very effective cardiovascular workout that strengthens your back, legs and arms as well as reducing neck and shoulder tension. Increasing your heart rate by up to 20% and burning around 450 calories per hour, Nordic Walking is suitable for all ages and abilities.

Elaine Upton, Countryside and Physical Activity Manager said: “The long summer evenings present the perfect opportunity to get out and get active.
