Our lives are filled to the brim with stressors. Work, children, finances, chores, the ever growing pile of laundry… So we need outlets that reduce that stress!

Nordic walking brings together a few stress busters, but this post is going to focus on the rhythmic movement of the Nordic walking technique. Movements that follow a beat or rhythm help your nervous system to regulate and take a break from its worries. Paying attention to your technique and focusing on keeping this rhythm is a form of active mindfulness which keeps us in the moment also leading to reduced stress.

Add this to Nordic walking being a green, group exercise and you’ve got a whole host of stress busters to keep the calm.

The changes of autumn are starting to really take hold of our trees! Lots of reds, oranges, and yellows to be seen through October over the years, and many familiar faces to be found on the trails with poles in hand!

Do you look forward to walking through the falling leaves each year?

We know it's a little ways off, but we want you to start thinking about snowshoe season, and what better way than to learn a little something!

Snowshoes go back a long way. The first ones were created from natural materials like wood and rawhide while modern shoes are made from lightweight metals, plastic and other synthetics.

The shapes are relatively similar though many probably think of a tennis racket shape for the former and a more ski like shape for the latter. If you look at all the snowshoes available to us from the past, there are other snow walking devices that look like our modern snowshoes just made from wood and animal hide.

Nordic WalkFit isn’t just about staying fit. We believe connection is a huge part of overall wellness.

This connection leads to greater quality of life and often a boost in confidence! We’re constantly rooting for each other and celebrating each other's successes, both in fitness goals and other life events!

So yes, you will find confidence in your movement and body, but also in your mind!

Autumn is closing in on us. The chillier weather, the darker evenings… Walkfitters have been enjoying the crisp morning walks for years, here is a look back over the past couple!

Be on the lookout for faces that show up year after year because there are lots! And if you’re one of those long time Nordic WalkFitters, let us know in the comments!

A big barrier to regular movement is the planning and the set-up. With Nordic walking, you can leave your poles ready by the door and grab them whenever the mood strikes!

You can even use them on regular commutes! If you have a coffee date with your friends within walking distance, try taking your poles along for the ride next time!

Nordic walking isn’t just for regular exercise; professionals are using these poles in rehabilitation centres!

They provide stability to those recovering from ankle, knee, and hip injuries. Allowing them a balanced way of walking to build their confidence where a cane or crutches just doesn't do the trick. A cane provides stability but offers asymmetrical stability and crutches offer a bit too much stability for later walking practice.

That’s not the only time a physical or occupational therapist might bring out the poles! They’re also great for those recovering from heart and lung problems. When your cardiac and pulmonary systems are weakened, it can alter your staying capacity. Poles offer support by adding stability and spreading out the load so more muscles can help in the movement.

Nordic walking on its own has so many benefits, but they grow when you add community to your fitness routine.

A chorus of hellos rings out every time you meet-up followed by catching up. During your walk you have the chance to dig deeper into your conversations, and by the time the walk is over, the group has more to share. It’s not unheard of to grab a coffee post-walk.

Nordic WalkFit is all about fun and friends with our fitness!
