Boyne Nordic Walking

Welcome to Boyne Nordic Walking! We are passionate about promoting the joys and benefits of Nordic walking in the beautiful Boyne Valley and beyond. Our mission is to bring people together through this inclusive and invigorating activity, fostering a community of health-conscious individuals who love the great outdoors.

What is Nordic Walking?

Nordic Walking is a full-body workout that uses specially designed poles to enhance your natural walking experience. Originating from cross-country skiing, this form of exercise engages your upper body muscles, turning a simple walk into a highly effective workout. Unlike traditional walking, Nordic Walking provides a low-impact, high-reward exercise that is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.

Interested in joining one of our walks?

Participated in an introductory class this morning in St Dominic’s Park and I absolutely loved it! It’s a really enjoyable way to get full body workout, with as little or as much effort as is comfortable with whatever niggles and jiggles you have! Martina is a great tutor and I’m really looking forward to getting out again!!”
