IT’S THE fastest growing fitness activity in the world with over ten million people participating all year round.
With one hour of Nordic Walking burning approximately 400 calories and using 95 percent of the body’s muscles, Redditch residents can give the latest fitness craze a go just by heading down to Oversley Wood, Alcester or Arrow Valley Park.
Kathrin Foster, an accredited Nordic Walking Instructor, is encouraging those looking for a new way to stay fit during the summer months to turn their stroll into a total body workout.
Nordic Walking works your upper and lower body simultaneously, uses 90 per cent of your body’s muscles and burns up to 40 per cent more calories than ordinary walking and tones your whole body but feels even easier than walking.
Kathrin urges anyone who wants to try their hand at Nordic Walking to check out www.arrowandarden.co.uk online or call her on 07875 609324.
