"Took part in the Nordic Walking session today and it was brilliant. Poles included, we started with a nice warm up and were shown different techniques from beginners up to level 2 and 3. We were a nice mixed group of all ages and took it at our own pace. We also played a groups game and it didnt feel like 2 hours...passed by so quickly. Then we finished with a nice relaxing cool down using the poles. Gillian was very patient, explained everyting perfectly and helped each of us. Would highly recommend it to everyone" Gillian Perry

Nordic Walking is a low-impact exercise that enhances the benefits of traditional walking by incorporating specially designed poles. It engages the entire body, improving balance, strength, posture and cardiovascular fitness. Gillian is a WALX Comunity Nordic Walking Instructor and offers fundamentals sessions for complete beginners, as well as weekly group Nordic walks in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.
