Mark successfully completed a Nordic Walking instructor course this past weekend in Cardiff and is now a fully qualified Nordic Walking UK (NWUK) level 2 instructor. Nordic Walking is one of the fastest growing fitness activities in the world and is used by individuals, personal trainers, health clubs, physiotherapists, doctors and health promoters because it is highly effective, affordable and FUN!Nordic Walking technique must be learnt correctly if the participant is to get the most out of the activity – the full health technique that ensures the whole body works efficiently is only taught by NWUK qualified instructors. Some of the health benefits include:
· Tones the upper and lower body at the same time
· Uses 90% of the skeletal muscles
· Burns up to 46% more calories than ordinary walking
· Reduces the pressure on knees and joints
· Great for the heart and lungs
· Ideal for neck, shoulder and back problems
· Poles propel the walker along, making it easier to move faster than normal without feeling the effort
· It is one of the most effective cross training techniques for athletes and sports people who require ultimate cardiovascular and endurance conditioning
We will be offering Nordic Walking classes in the Penarth area in the very near future, including free taster sessions, 6 week beginner classes and longer walks for the more experienced nordic walker. If you want more information call Mark on 07947010276 or email ValeSportsTherapy@yahoo.co.uk.
