Learn to stay fit and healthy with our Nordic Walking course, part of Sydney Community College’s fitness program in Sydney. This beginner-friendly short course introduces a dynamic style of walking that engages the entire body and boosts overall fitness.
Using specially designed walking poles similar to ski poles, Nordic Walking enhances your natural arm swing by planting the poles behind you and pushing forward. This technique activates the upper body, gently rotates the torso, and increases calorie burn—up to 46% more than regular walking. You’ll enjoy a low-impact workout that reduces stress on knees and joints while improving endurance and strength.
Train with a Nordic Walking Australia accredited instructor and discover a fun, practical, and inclusive outdoor activity that supports long-term health and wellbeing.
