Nordic Walks in Lewisham

Lewisham NordicWalking is perfect for those that want or need to get more active! It is simple to learn, suitable for people that have been inactive for a while. NordicWalking is gentle, not intimidating and does not appear too much like conventional ‘exercise’. It is a great way to gently encourage full body movement, whilst the poles help to reduce pressure on your knees and joints and propel you along, making it feel easier than it really is! By using the poles, you use more muscles, significantly increasing the calories burned without making you feel you are pushing yourself too hard. You don’t need to get changed or work hard enough to feel uncomfortable, sweaty or out of your depth.

Lewisham NordicWalking is a fantastic, motivating workout. It can be done at any level, including beginners, the elderly or unfit! Our aim is to support people to reach the recommended level of Physical Activity (150 minutes moderate-intensity physical activity per week) So our sessions are aimed at Lewisham residents who are not achieving this level and want to get more active.

The programmes we offer start with ‘Learn to Nordic Walk’ – Four sessions to learn the technique with an instructor. To get the most from this FREE course it is important that you attend all the sessions. The‘Learn To’ sessions and follow on sessions are FREE. Walking poles will be provided for these sessions.

After this, if you need it, you can get more support from an instructor until you are confident with the technique. Then you can continue to enjoyNordic Walking in a group with a trained volunteer Nordic Walking leader. These sessions run alongside the instructor-led sessions. Some poles will be available, but we encourage you to buy poles at a discount from Nordic Walking UK.  You can then walk more at other times, or if you wish to go further, our instructors offer their own paid sessions
