[QUOTE="onky, post: 597733, member: 119975"] Hi, Have just completed the Nordic Walking UK intro programme and am hooked! As an obese type 2 on diet only (refused meds) - trying to loose the weight has been difficult as I love walking, but the knees dont! (Hate swimming). N.walking can be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be... Initial £40 for four sessions teaching you the technique... and buy some cheap poles and off you go!!! But the main thing I have enjoyed about it is the shared walks..locally £5 a time with your own poles or £7 borrowing from the instructor. The point I most want to make here is that I am not a 'joiner' - but the way it has been organinsed locally is that there have been several introduction courses so the walks are made up of different people from across those intros... ie never all the same people at each walk... and those of us adapting our speed and or hill haters etc are all accommodated for. Great cardio with so little perceived effort... and knees protected... WHY OH WHY havent I discovered it before!! Do give it a try... Edit: On re-reading the post I realise it could be taken as an info type advert... that is so not what the above is about - I really am hooked... [/QUOTE]
