Nordic Walking Opportunities in Evington

Some of you, over the past eight years, may have seen people walking in and around Evington using long poles and wondered what are they doing? The answer is … Nordic walking. A sport that originated in Finland in the late 1990s and has since gone global as a way to exercise more than 90% of the body but is gentle on joints and has the calorific expenditure equivalent to jogging. If you have seen the Wednesday morning Evington group, you will have noticed that people are chatting away and smiling as it is also a very pleasant way to exercise too.
The Ministry of Nordic Walks Community Group, that provides low cost opportunities in and around Leicester and Leicestershire to take part in Nordic walking, is about to launch a new initiative in Evington. Introducing this activity to even more people, with 30-minute beginner lessons at Sedgebrook Open Space on Wednesday lunchtimes 12 – 12:30 pm and 12:45 – 1:15 pm. The special poles will be provided so all you will need are some waterproof walking shoes/boots as lessons will take place on grass. Sessions will cost £3 and are open to anyone age 18 and over.
