Nordic Walking Class in Christchurch
Christchurch is a great place to learn Nordic Walking with all the green space available close to the central city.
​
Nordic Walking is a form of fitness walking using specially designed poles and a learned technique to produce a low impact, high results, total body workout.
The pushing action of the poles serve as a resistance exercise for the upper body, thus Nordic Walking increases cardio output, burns more calories and activates more muscles compared to normal walking.

Rope Flow
​
-
People of all ages and fitness levels can do this.
-
Rope flow lets you use your full range of motion to improve coordination, balance, endurance, and flexibility.
-
It involves moving your weighted rope in different patterns for fitness, stress relief, recovery.
-
What are the principles of Rope Flow
-
Using patterns based in figure 8 hand movements, and rotation of the upper body, you roll the rope around you as opposed to jumping through it.
-
This teaches your body to dynamically unify the force production from the floor to your hands through both upper and lower limbs, as well as left and right sides.
