Doyle-Kennefick Regional Park invites you to grab a pair of poles and hit the trails for a session of Nordic walking, a full-body workout that's taking stride among outdoor enthusiasts. Set to take place on Monday, September 23, from 5:30 to 7 PM, the event promises to guide participants through the paces of this Scandinavian exercise trend under the tutelage of experienced Outdoor Recreation School instructors, as detailed by Scott County, Minnesota.
This walking technique uses specially designed poles for a low-impact, high-results workout, engaging your upper body as much as your legs. Reservations are required, call 763-559-6700 at least two days in advance to secure your spot and avoid missing out.
The Scott County website assures that no participant will be left pole-less, as equipment will be provided for the cost of $6. It's a small price to pay for the health benefits and the sheer joy of exercising amidst the natural beauty of Three Rivers' newest park. As long as you're 18 or over, you're good to join the stride.
