Pole walking has strengthened my core, straightened my back & is a fun, social thing to do!

I joined Nordic Walking in February -09 - I now find doing exercise invigorating. My fitness has improved and one can even enjoy the gorgeous views of the sea along the way. Annika gives thorough instructions and all levels are taken care of by her.
I look forward to my Saturday morning walks, a great way to meet new people!

Annika's Saturday morning Nordic Walks along the beautiful coast are a fantastic walking experience. Company is always great and at the end of the walk there is a feeling of having had a complete body workout. Annika's warm-up and cool-down exercises, using the poles, are brilliant! Thoroughly recommended!                                                 Christina, Wilson, WA

I continue to walk with my poles three times weekly. I personally like walking locally and fairly early as I work fulltime and would find it difficult to join a group. I feel that using the poles is improving my core body strength and believe that if I'm walking I may as well gain the most benefit possible.                                                                     Anne, Alfred Cove, WA

After being a passionate runner for many years, it was suggested to me by doctors to cut back on it, for the protection of my back. The running was increasingly aggravating my scoliosis and putting my back into spasm. I'd already taken up swimming to protect it and also to work my upper body (as running is mostly about the legs!). Naturally - I couldn't stop the exercise and looked to find something new. I came across Annika on the web and met for a trial one Saturday morning. And what a surprise! A full body workout for the price of a walk next to the sea! What more can we ask for? After a walk I feel that my arms as well as my back have been exercised. Using the poles helps ensure that the arms are used. With normal power walking it's easy to let the arms drop when tired. Annika spends time teaching technique, various stretches and gives personal attention during the walks. We walk in groups with new and interesting people each week. It's fun, fulfilling and above all - great complete exercise!                                                                                          Heidi, Floreat, WA

Since 2005 I've become increasingly enthusiastic about Nordic Walking as a method of general conditioning. After an hour or more I feel a sense of upper limb conditioning as if I've been canoeing. I now feel there is more chance of bouncing and not breaking upper limbs if I were to fall. Apart from your skill and energy as a coach I think your Swedish poles are tops and boots are great! Thanks and regards and keep up the good work!
