Walk Description:

Power of Poles Walx With Life Balance Learn the Skills. Build Your Confidence. Enjoy Every Walk. If you’re looking for a friendly, enjoyable way to stay active, independent and confident as you get older, our Power of Poles Intro Course is the perfect place to begin. The course is designed for ordinary people who want to enjoy walking more, improve their health and feel confident about staying active for years to come. You don’t need to be particularly fit and you don’t need any previous experience. Whether you’re returning to exercise, looking to improve your balance, managing occasional joint discomfort or simply curious about walking with poles, we’ll guide you step by step. During this relaxed 90-minute course, you’ll learn the techniques that turn everyday walking into Total Body Walking. You’ll discover how to use the poles for propulsion, improve your posture and stability, walk more efficiently and gently engage your upper body and core. Poles are provided and adjusted for you, so you don’t need to buy equipment before attending. Our Leighton Buzzard course begins at Tiddenfoot Water Park and follows the area around the lake. The mostly flat route provides a calm and comfortable place to learn, practise and ask questions. Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll receive your WALX Freedom Passport and be able to join suitable WALX Nordic Walking sessions locally and with participating groups around the country. For us, Power of Poles is about more than learning a technique. It gives you the confidence and skills to get more from every walk and opens the door to a friendly community where people support one another. Book your course and discover how enjoyable Total Body Walking can be.
