Community Education--Eastern Carver Co Schools

What is Nordic Walking?  Originating in Scandinavia, and still widely popular, it is simply walking with two poles, like for skiing, providing a better workout as well as better stability for those who have balance, knee or leg problems.  It's low impact, fun to do, and easy to learn, making it an ideal form of exercise for anyone of any age.  When done properly, it exercises 80 percent of your muscles and improves your overall heart, mind, and body health.  Get started in this great outdoor activity while Carver County Park and Rec staff teach you how to use the equipment and lead the walk. All equipment will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own.  This activity is best suited for ages 50+. The first session will be at Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, week 2 will be at Lake Ann, and the last session will be at Lake Susan. 

Offered in partnership with Carver County Parks.
