Walk Nordic

The Nordic walking Tortoise Club on tour!! Some of the faster tortoises wanted a session to put all their hard work into practise so we held a tortoise chasing the hare session. We used our technique to push the pace up and to cover more ground. They have decided that they would like a set goal to reach so we now have a plan!!!!! Watch this space!!!!

LEAN…. Into your walk. Into the direction of travel, starting from the socket and ball of your ankle all the way up through your body to an open chest. Feel the difference with some acceleration of the lean and to slow your self down you simply pull your self back to apply the breaks. Experiment in this and you will start to feel the difference.

Who first inspired you to enjoy being active?

For many of us, it was a teacher, coach, parent or instructor who made movement fun, rewarding and something we wanted to keep doing.

The INWA Children & Teens Instructor Course is designed to help instructors, educators, coaches and activity leaders create those same positive experiences for the next generation.

You'll learn how to introduce Nordic Walking in a fun, engaging and age-appropriate way, while developing confidence, communication skills, teamwork and a positive relationship with movement.

Delivered alongside the INWA Convention 2026 in Japan, this internationally recognised course provides practical tools and proven teaching approaches that can be applied immediately.

If we want more young people to enjoy lifelong movement, it starts with creating great experiences today.

What do you think is the biggest challenge when encouraging children and teenagers to be active? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Why did I create The Nordic Walking Tortoise Clubs..?

Nordic walking isn’t just for older people or for rehab it’s for the ones who want to build up strength, feel powerful, be flexible, build stamina, and stability

Last night I attended an excellent session on how to be a brilliant coach to neurodivergent people. Provided by Presented by the highly regarded Dr Josephine Perry who is a sports physiologist, she has also written books on this really important subject. It’s so important instructors to do more CPD to widen out knowledge so that we can become better at our jobs. Every day is a school day!
