Thank you for all your wonderful messages of support for these recorded exercises to top and tail your daily walks. I really hope that you are all keeping fit and well and that your families are all safe.
This session has an emphasis on posture, which, as you all know, is the foundation of the correct Nordic Walking technique. Points to consider when out walking on your own:
- Keep your chin parallel to the ground with your eyes looking straight ahead and visualise your head balanced correctly above your spine.
- Walk at your tallest possible point, lengthening out through the spine.
- Ensure that you are not sitting into your hips, but engage your postural muscles to lift yourself out of your hips.

These workouts have been designed for clients of Nordic Walking East Anglia, who have all been taught the correct Nordic Walking technique by a qualified British Nordic Walking Instructor. They have also been shown how to perform these exercises in face to face lessons; this film is merely a prompt. Individuals participate in these exercises at their own risk and must ensure they have adequate and non-slip floor space in which to participate and agree that they have no health concerns that prevent them from taking part. These exercises are designed to be carried out outside, however, if individuals perform the warm-up and cool-down sessions indoors there is a danger of collision with or damage to furniture, light fittings, etc. as well as potential for injury.
