Nordic walking burns on average 20% more calories than normal walking at the same speed, plus most people find it makes walking more comfortable.

More calories, less effort! Join Countryside Officers, Lindsay Dunlop (Ballymena) and Sonya Crawford (Ballymoney) for a taster session in this gentle and enjoyable walking workout.
