Nordic Walking Clinics

Have you tried Nordic Walking yet? Nordic Walking is an all season, all-inclusive outdoor exercixe technique that supports total body fitness. You can burn 7 calories a minute walking with poles! Improve your gait efficiency and muscle strength while gaining the same cardio and caloric benefitis as speed walking.

I have personally seen people that could barely walk, doing laps around the track in no time at all. It has helped their balance, their muscle strength and their self esteem! I have done it myself and can tell you that it will give a total body workout, it's great!

Join us at 12:00pm and 5:30pm in The Summit Conference rooms. Our upcoming dates are March 16 and 30th, as well as April 6th. We will walk at The Summit's indoor track. This one-time workshop series will prepare attendees for future Nordic Walking. This is free and open to the public, registration is required. To reserve your spot call 751-5374 or e-mail proberts@krmc.org
