Bend Community Center Offers Nordic Walking Sessions for Fitness
Reviewed by Todd Vandersline / Bendlocal.org
The Larkspur Community Center in Bend, Oregon is offering Nordic walking sessions to help participants walk with power, propulsion, and purpose. Nordic walking can be done year-round on various terrains such as asphalt, grass, dirt, and indoors. Research has shown that Nordic walking helps build strength in the upper body and core, improves posture, and burns up to 46% more calories than regular walking. Additionally, using poles in Nordic walking reduces weight on joints and enhances coordination and stabilization. Participants can bring their own poles or borrow them. The session options are on Thursdays, July 18, August 15, and September 19, from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. Those interested can register for the activity with the code 215600. More fitness registration programs can be found at https://register.bendparksandrec.org/.
