South Suburbs of the Twin Cities
Introductory Class offerings in Nordic Walking
Come try walking with Nordic Walking poles thru the woods in your local area park. Rhea Kontos, a certified Nordic Walking instructor, has been leading groups in the Twin Cities for 5 years and continues to enjoy all the benefits of walking with poles. Nordic Walking uses 90% of your muscles and burns more calories and distributes your weight so your knees don't have to do all the work. Demo Nordic Walking poles provided. Trekking/Hiking poles are not the same. This class is geared to those that they can walk 45-60 minutes, including small hills, with confidence. Wear comfortable shoes with a good tread, carry water, and if desired, a small camera. Nordic Walking poles available for purchase after class.
