Positive Steps is Suffolk’s leading Nordic Walking specialist, having been delivering it for over five years.
Nordic Walking is an enhancement of ordinary walking - it makes something we can all do twice as effective! It is a specific fitness technique and not simply walking with poles like trekking or rambling.
Nordic Walking is suitable for anyone, of any age and fitness.

"I am visually impaired and to my knowledge Kevin had not previously instructed a VI person to Nordic walk before but he took the time and trouble to consult with Angela (a brilliant local sight loss professional and fellow Nordic walker) for valuable guidance and support. This gave me the confidence to give it a try and I'm so glad I did.
Jon P, September 2015
After a few 1 to 1 sessions of instruction from Kevin I was able to gain enough confidence to walk with the main group which is great. Kevin arranges for one of the team to walk with me as a guide to constantly issue friendly verbal instructions throughout the walk and when a little unsure I just use the walking poles as a white cane substitute to navigate the more intricate obstructions.
I will be looking to do some long walks in the very near future and with Kevin and the teams great support have every confidence it will be possible."
"Just completed the Nordic walking training at West Stow park. It's not just walking with sticks! Nordic Walking turns walking into a proper work out if you want to, and that's the important bit. It's very inclusive so anyone can do it whatever age/fitness you are.

Kevin is a very enthusiastic trainer and is passionate about the benefits of Nordic Walking. He explains everything clearly and supports individuals as we go round the walk. There are walking groups you can join afterwards so you can keep it up afterwards. Give it a go!"
