‘Come & try’ invite to free taster session with new Kirkcaldy Nordic Walking group
A new Nordic Walking group in Kirkcaldy has issued a “come and try” invite in a new taster session.
It takes place in the town’s Beveridge Park on Sunday, December 7 at 11:00am, and is free to attend.
The group has staged several walks in recent months and is keen to welcome new faces along to its guided sessions led by a qualified instructor. Previous walks have taken in Ravenscraig Park, and Dysart Harbour - popular locations for walkers.
Nordic walking has become popular with people of all ages. Using specially designed walking poles similar to ski poles.- which are supplied by the group - it is a great way to improve fitness, and help with balance and joint issues. The poles are designed to provide forward propulsion when used at an angle.
They also help with full upper body movement and engage with most of the major muscles as you walk.
The activity also benefits your mental and physical health as it is staged outdoors in nature.
A spokesperson said: “Nordic walking is a great way to increase your fitness as you are using your upper body and the legs. It increases your pace and allows you to walk further. It can also be good for those with balance and joint issues.”
Originally designed as a summer training regime for cross country skiers, it has been adapted over the years to make it suitable for all levels.
Spaces on the free taster session can be booked via Caroline on 0785 1151 968
