Bringing exercise WALX to Northamptonshire. WALX Heart of The Shires is a friendly walking club, with skilled Exercise Instructors and Guides who are passionate about walking and outdoor exercise. Our aim is to encourage and motivate all ages to stay active and improve fitness whilst enjoying the great outdoors, here in beautiful Northamptonshire. With classes 6 days a week, we mainly use Nordic Walking to improve cardio-vascular fitness, strength, balance, flexibility and co-ordination, however we also have many sessions suitable for non pole walkers too. So if you are looking for an enjoyable way to exercise, improve your mental health, meet new people, explore our lovely county or just looking for a new hobby, come and find out more by joining a Power of Poles Session or an Open Explorer WALX and find out how WALX Heart of The Shires can help you to reach your health goals.
My name is Helen Hartley and I am the WALX Master for WALX Heart of The Shires. I qualified as an Exercise for Fitness and Nordic Walking Instructor and set up Heart of The Shires Nordic Walking back in 2015 . I am passionate about all aspects of walking and particularly enjoy the Physical, Social and Emotional benefits of Nordic Walking . The combination of exercising outdoors whilst enjoying the surrounding countryside with like minded people of ALL ages is something extremely powerful. With additional training modules in Muscle Strength and Endurance, Wellbeing, Yoga WALX and Ski- Fit I am also able to teach classes which provide the opportunity to focus on Strength, Balance, Co-ordination, Flexibility and Relaxation. Along with our WALX Guides, Simon and Kara I am excited to bring WALX to Northamptonshire . I look forward to bringing the Physical, Social and Emotional benefits of walking in all its forms through sessions such as Nordic WALX, Total Body WALX , Explorer WALX , Wellness WALX and Yoga WALX. I really look forward to speaking to you soon and helping you to get started.
