Nordic Walking Taster Workshop

Join this workshop about Nordic walking, a fitness activity which uses specially designed poles to help you walk faster, improve your posture and balance and give you a whole-body workout. 
Nordic walking is based entirely on your regular walking and is suitable for everyone, making walker harder if you’re looking for a low impact energetic aerobic activity, and easier if you’re wanting support to help make walking easier.
This taster session is an active session with an experienced Body Works instructor who’ll teach you the basic Nordic walking technique including how to use the poles correctly and how to engage and work your key walking muscles. 
Poles will be supplied and don’t worry about your fitness level, you can Nordic walking at your own pace. Session will last around 45 minutes

How it works:

Buy your ticket in advance: Buy your ticket here in advance – you can buy for friends and family too. We’ll email your tickets plus send you more information closer to the day including what to bring and travel arrangements.

Make your own way to the walk meet point: Many of our walks have good public transport links, but if you’re needing a lift email us at info@letswalkbristol.co.uk and we will pass the message on to other walkers booked onto your walk. If you’re wondering about the health and safety issues surrounding car sharing there’s some helpful information on the Liftshare travel happy website: https://liftshare.com/uk. 

Meet your guide: Your walk guide will be at the meet point to welcome and register you. We have an amazing team of experienced, insured guides who have designed some fabulous walking routes and who will be able to share interesting information with you along the way. They will also have details of any health/medical notes you told us about when you registered.

Nordic walking? This walk is open to both Nordic and regular walkers, so bring your poles and enjoy the day. There won’t be a pre-walk Nordic warm-up so if you’d like to do your own we’d recommend you arrive a bit early. 

Looking after your health and safety: Your health and safety is important to us and we have the following provisions in place on this walk: A requirement for everyone to complete and bring a Covid-19 declaration and waiver in order to participate. A limit on walker numbers to 16 people. A walk assistant to help should anyone in the group need to drop out for any reason.
