Appeal for more Nordic Walkers in P'borough

British Nordic Walk Instructor Sue Burnett has made an urgent appeal on behalf of her Nordic Walking group, Active Edge Nordic Walkers, for more Peterborough people to join the group.

The group meets every Thursday at Werrington Sports Centre in Peterborough with each session taking place from 5.45pm to 6.15pm at a cost of only £2 per person. Taster sessions are running throughout May on Thursdays 13th, 20th and 27th.

Nordic Walking is rapidly becoming a great way of getting healthier and keeping fitter for those who wish to get fitter on a shoestring of time.

The Werrington based group began their Nordic Walking adventures back in January when the nights were dark and the weather was dark, damp and cold. In fact some nights there was even snow on the ground.

Undeterred by the cold, freezing depths of winter the walkers have continued to keep up their new found skills, improved health and fitness and urge more city people to join in.

When one walker joined the group back in January she said she had been waiting for two years for Nordic Walking  to be available in Peterborough, ‘It is like a breath of fresh air for my mind’ said health professional Janet  Martyr.

Another Nordic Walker, Paul Frost said recently ‘I've discovered new ground I didn’t know existed’, and he has lived locally for over 25 years.

You will make new friends, have more fun and get fitter and healthier while learning about a wonderfully green activity which can put a spring back into your step with Nordic Walking.

As a warm up to the Green Festival which starts on the 29th of May, Active Edge Solutions is proud to offer taster sessions for the Greeniversity (www.greeniversity.org.uk) students during May.

To find out and start your Nordic Walking journey to better health and fitness contact, your INWA qualified Nordic Walk instructor, Sue Burnett, on 07901 937665 or visit www.activeedgesolutions.co.uk.
