Do I need to be fit to join WALX?
I totally understand why someone would ask that question, it is a natural fear.
The simple answer is No you do not need to be fit to join WALX.
People join for different reasons. For some their aim is to get fit enough to be able to enjoy an active life. It might be to play with the kids and grandchildren or be confident to be able to carry the shopping and do chores and gardening. They might want to improve their balance and want to feel confident on different terrains. There are sessions for those individuals, they do not need to do full on fitness sessions. Joining in the shorter walks and the wellness TBW is enough to enjoy gains in fitness especially if you are starting from nothing. Some people are retuning to activity after illness or injury. This is a great way to start gently and build up over time.
Others are already active and want to maintain a level of fitness and enjoy pushing themselves for additional gains. They might have an active holiday planned or enjoy long walks. TBW Fitness sessions are perfect for those individuals.
Some members are more serious about their fitness. They possibly use WALX sessions to complement other sports and use the fitness sessions to balance their training. They might be working towards a challenge and want the additional strength gains.
It is clear from all of our members, whatever their health and fitness goals, the social benefits are second to none.
We benefit from spending time with people who enjoy the great outdoors and are wanting to either build or maintain their strength, balance and general fitness in a supportive environment.
At WALX Coast and Country we cater for all. We are a friendly supportive community.
