Nordic Walking

There are Nordic Walking courses for beginners and Nordic Walking clubs for more experienced walkers happening all over the County!

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!

Once you have completed a four-week course of Nordic Walking, you are eligible to join one of Oxfordshire's Nordic Walking Clubs, free of charge.

Details on where and when the clubs walk is coming soon.

In the meantime, for information on all Nordic Walking groups across the County, contact your local GO Active coordinator!
