Pole exercises... but not what you think!

Nordic Walking is an enhancement of ordinary walking – it makes something we can all do…. twice as effective!  Nordic Walking uses poles to in order to add two major benefits to walking
·   The use of poles means the upper body muscles are used as well as the legs
·   The poles help to propel the walker along – this means he/she works harder than usual yet the support given by the poles makes it feel easier!
Nordic walking is suitable for most fitness levels and abilities. Suitable from 18 yrs and upwards.
Courses take place at West Bank Park, Rowntree Park and Hull Road Park at various times and dates throughout May, June and July and cost £20  For further information on times see the PDF on righthand side of this page www.york.gov.uk/leisure/walking/health/
To book a place contact Catriona Sudlow or Fiona Barker on 01904 553440 or e-mail fiona.barker@york.gov.uk/ or catriona.Sudlow@york.gov.uk
