The NWUK Ultimate Nordic circuit concept is simple…… its for those who love nordic Walking and want a tougher workout AND for the people out there who (foolishly) think that Nordic Walking is not a tough enough workout for them in the first place.
NWUK Instructors are taught to deliver 3 main elements when they attend the ULTIMATE NORDIC INSTRUCTOR MODULES
1. Advanced Nordic Walking technique
2. SKI FITness drills and coaching principles
3. TREK FIT – a totally new concept that uses expedition training to create a tough moving circuit.
The first two elements are included in the SKI FIT workshop whilst TREK FIT has a one day module all to itself!
The NWUK Tutor team are also working on a SPORTS SPECIFIC module which will be launched in 2013.
All the programmes come with lesson plans, manuals, resources and branded
marketing materials – Instructors who deliver the concepts and stay up to date with the latest drills can be identified by the additional ICON* on the NWUK website which indicates they are trained to deliver the branded concept.

The Instructor training is ONE DAY (10 – 4) of tough practical teaching and includes a manual and set of drill cards
COST:- Only available to NWUK delivery partners this course is £49 to attend but Instructors are reminded that they will need to purchase the required kit in order to
deliver the branded concept correctly. It is not possible to simply incorporate the moves into regular classes. NB: the £49 will be credited towards the purchase of any kit packs made.
