LEKI Nordic Walking with Mel Thomas (FitHaven)
Whether you are a first timer or wish to join experienced walkers, Mel organises group instructor-led LEKI Nordic Walking sessions in beautiful rural countryside and nature reserves of the St Neots/Huntingdonshire/Cambridgeshire/Bedfordshire area. Mel is the first person to introduce the concept of Nordic Walking into her area, and compliments it perfectly with Fitness-Pilates methods to bring you a unique outdoor exercise experience like no other!
Regular weekly Nordic Walking sessions with LEKI poles, which are provided, are currently running on Monday lunchtime from 12.30pm to 2pm, from various different locations. However, tailored one to one, small group sessions and Saturday morning sessions can be organised too. “There is something quite magical about exercising outdoors in this way and we are so lucky to have a vast network of tracks and trails on our doorstep—after Nordic Walking I feel like I have been recharged, reenergised and transported away from my everyday life!"

"As editor of an International Nordic Walking publication with subscribers in 34 countries, I believe that Nordic Walking is set to rival the popularity of the running boom of the 1980's. As a sports and fitness trainer for longer than I care to remember, I am passionate about Nordic Walking. It is a 'total body' exercise programme that's ideal for literally anyone. I have personal clients ranging from retired people who have experienced joint surgery and debilitating illness, through to endurance athletes who compete in marathons and ultra-distance races. Nordic Walking is the most perfect form of exercise and has no downside. It truly is a 'Sport for All'.
