Challenging our minds, balance and proprioception today at Oldbury Court with some "walking backwards".
I really felt the benefit in my calves and feet and had much more awareness of my muscles and limbs for sure. Great little exercise to try whenever you can at home! Well done all 😁

It was a lovely walk at Blaise this morning. We practiced Full Technique, focusing on squeezing, leaning and swinging . Also concentrating on core engagement to help us climb the hills .
Well done everyone. Rach xx

We’re thrilled to welcome Chris Lewis and Hazel Crimmins to the Bristol Nordic Walking team!
Both bring their own spark and expertise to our walks — Chris with his fitness experience and infectious enthusiasm and love of the outdoors, and Hazel with her calm confidence and deep understanding of movement and wellbeing.
They’re already out on the Downs and in Ashton Court, helping walkers refine technique, building strength, and rediscover the joy of moving well.
Whether you’re a regular or just starting out, you’ll be in excellent hands.
Learn more about them here:

Give them a warm Bristol Nordic Walking welcome next time you see them!

2 Nordic walking warriors braved the elements today 💪
After a poor looking forecast of yes more rain we set off armed and ready to go.
And so there was wind (well a little breeze at times) there was sun (quite a bit of it) and blue sky (a fair amount) and not 1 drop ☔. Just goes to show no point looking at the forecast 🤣. Lovely walk ladies, Clair x

Hi folks. I will be in this window for the next hour in Bristol Physiotherapy Clinic on Whiteladies Road. We’re doing a 24 hour bike and treadmill challenge in aid of the charity Second Step. It’s an important local mental health charity, so if you’re anywhere near it’d be amazing if you could pop over and donate. Here’s a link to the page and wish me luck. I haven’t run in a long time 😆 Ros https://www.justgiving.com/page/bristolphysiotherapy

It was lovely meeting Cathryn, Barbara and Mike for our Nordic walking taster on Clifton Downs last week as part of Bristol Walk Fest
They picked up the technique quickly and felt the benefits of the full-body workout.
We’re so lucky in Bristol to have so many amazing green spaces.
