New Body Barn in Devizes, a Pilates club, is excited to announce their upcoming Nordic walking event in Wiltshire! Nordic walking is a fantastic way to boost fitness levels and improve your mental wellbeing, and it's suitable for people of all ages and fitness abilities.
If you've never heard of Nordic walking before, it involves using specially designed walking poles to engage your upper body and propel yourself forward while walking. Not only does it burn 20 to 46% more calories than normal walking, but it also provides a wonderful outdoor experience. Breathing in the fresh air and connecting with nature can have a profound effect on your mood and mental health.
Whether you're a total beginner or a seasoned walker, the classes at New Body Barn cater to different levels of intensity. They offer everything from gentle walks to intense workout sessions, so you can choose what suits you best. All you need to bring is a pair of Nordic walking poles, some comfy walking shoes, and appropriate clothing. The poles help to distribute your weight and minimise strain on your knees and joints, making it a low-impact exercise.
The benefits of Nordic walking go beyond just physical fitness. Regular participation in this activity can also reduce the risk of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma, stroke, and even some cancers. Plus, it can be a valuable addition to any weight loss program.
If you're new to Nordic walking, it's highly recommended to learn the proper technique from a qualified instructor. Luckily, New Body Barn offers introduction to Nordic walking sessions to help you get started. These walks take place in the breathtaking Wiltshire countryside, including areas such as Devizes, Avebury, Marlborough Downs, Pewsey Vale, Stonehenge, and Salisbury Plain.
