Make your job or hobby a “walk in the park” – become a Nordic Walking instructor.

People learn Nordic Walking for a variety of reasons. Whether it is because they want stay healthy, get fit, reduce their weight, become more mobile or simply enjoy the great outdoors, learning the correct technique has a significant impact on the benefits and enjoyment people get from Nordic Walking.

Being a Nordic Walking Instructor, helping people achieve their goals and get more enjoyment from their walk can be extremely rewarding.
