I’m a PwP diagnosed in July 2019. I am considering Nordic Walking as extra exercise on top of weekly Pilates and exercise to music online classes. I walk a minimum of 3 miles a day with our border collie as well as gardening regularly.
Has anyone used Nordic UK or similar for a taster session or classes and could recommend a tutor, or can I ‘learn from you tube’
Hi @Nosnibor,
Thanks for your message. Great to hear that you are considering starting nordic walking! Others on the forum will be able to share their experiences and offer advice, but you may like to take a look at our local lookup tool to search for exercise classes in your local area.
Good luck with the walking!
Best wishes,

Hi,
Thenordicwalkinguk website has excellent videos on this to get you going properly. I have been n-walking for 2 years and reckon it is the best exercise for PD folk. It helps with balance and provides upper body exercise that ordinary walking doesn’t. Go for it!
