SoNoPo:  Southern Nordic Pole Walking
Originally cross-country skiers used their ski poles in the summer on strenuous walks to keep their aerobic and strength level up ‘til winter.  Then a special set of poles with hand “gloves” was developed by a team of doctors and athletes in Finland in 1997 and Nordic Poles were born.  Nordic Pole Walking burns more calories, increases oxygen consumption and can be up to 46% more body efficient than conventional fitness walking.  Introducing the poles into your walk turns your walk into a total body workout by adding the benefit of strength training for the upper body and increasing the heart rate significantly enough to achieve a cardiovascular workout.  Class sessions are $150 and meet for six weeks, 2x/week in spring, fall and winter seasons.  Contact instructor for current schedule at 678.665.9926 or email us here.  More info at Meetup.
