Notts Nordic Walking

21/08/2026

Nordic Walking has definitely helped my overall strength, posture and balance. It’s great for pushing any frustration into the ground as well 😉

This new research offers another strong reason to consider Nordic Walking as we grow older.

In a 12-week study comparing Nordic Walking with traditional walking, participants aged 65 to 80 completed three supervised sessions each week.

Both groups improved, but the Nordic Walking group recorded greater improvements in:

• Upper and lower body strength
• Aerobic capacity
• Confidence around falling
• Fear of movement
• Quality of life

The Nordic Walking group also increased its six-minute walking distance by around 51 metres more than the traditional walking group.

The study was small, with 28 participants completing the programme, so further research is needed. However, the findings support what Nordic Walking instructors see every day. With the correct technique, Nordic Walking actively involves the upper body and offers far more than a walk with poles.

Don’t wait until September.

Summer is a great time to get outside, move more and start building a routine before autumn arrives.

Learning to Nordic Walk is a friendly way to improve your fitness, build strength and enjoy being outdoors. You do not need to be especially fit, nor do you need any previous experience.

Starting now means you can head into September already feeling more active, more confident and more comfortable with the technique.

There are British Nordic Walking instructors across the UK offering beginner sessions and workshops.

Bramcote Park is also where we Nordic Walk every Thursday 10.30 - 11.30, in all weather apart from thunder and very strong winds.
It really is a beautiful place.

🌳Bramcote Hills Park has been awarded its 20th consecutive Green Flag Award, recognising its high standard of facilities.💚

Within the last year, Bramcote Hills has seen a number of major projects begin and complete, including:

🦡The addition of a sculpture paying tribute to the Borough of Broxtowe, carved out of the trunk of a fallen oak tree.
🎋The Friends of The Walled Garden community group was formed and have had their first meetings.
🪻Completion of a sensory garden within The Walled Garden, with two community planting events to help plant a wildflower lawn with over 8,000 flowering bulbs!
🍃Restored an area of woodland and grassland with the ‘Wilder Crow Hill’ project.

The site is also home to two of Broxtowe's long standing events. Hemlock Happening, which just saw a successful 24th edition, and Holocaust Memorial Day which has been held in the Walled Garden since 2001.
