If you would like to give yourself a total body workout, why not try walking the Nordic way!
Nordic Walking, or pole walking, is more than just ordinary walking - it's a fitness exercise that makes something everyone can do twice as effective.
Now a free taster session of what is the fastest growing fitness activity in the UK takes place in Pembrokeshire next month.
The hour-long session at Scolton Manor, near Haverfordwest, will be led by a fully trained Nordic Walk instructor, who will teach walkers the correct technique and provide suitable poles.
Nordic walking has been used as a summer training activity by cross country skiers since the 1930s and is now practised by walkers all over the world as a way of maintaining and improving strength and endurance.
It uses poles to encourage the use of the upper arms, which also help propel the walker along, making the walk appear easier.
The taster session, which takes place on Saturday, October 18, at 10.30 am, is organised by the National Public Health Service for Wales and Health Challenge Pembrokeshire.
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
Follow-on sessions will also be offered with details of cost and dates available on the day.
To reserve a place on the free taster session, call Rebecca Evans, senior public health officer, on 01437 771270, or email [email protected]">[email protected]. Please leave your name and contact telephone number.
