The Oakleafe Nordic Walking Group (East Surrey and East Sussex) will facilitate Nordic walking events for the whole month of August. The Nordic group walks will be held at the Windover Hill in Long Man Country, consisting of two-hour country walking sessions for each scheduled Saturday class. The fitness walking sessions are scheduled on the 2nd of August for the Surrey Group, and on the 25th of August for the East Sussex group. The group walk will be led by Nigel Bentley, an International Nordic Walking Technique Instructor.
The Oakleafe Nordic Walking Group will also conduct other walking events from October until April 2009. These courses are taster classes for those who are interested to get into this fitness craze.
Burning more calories than other fitness programs, Nordic walking is one of the popular alternatives to regular walking with its ability to reduce load on knees and feet.
