Fitness Classes with Walking Poles
Join me right now for free on-demand virtual fitness classes using your
Urban Poling ACTIVATOR poles or Nordic walking poles.
WHO are these classes for?
The classes are ideal for people managing chronic diseases (such as kidney disease, heart disease, arthritis, obesity, osteoporosis and diabetes), new exercisers, and inactive older adults.
WHO am I?
I’m Barb Gormley, a long-time certified group exercise instructor and fitness trainer. I have a degree in health & physical education, and I am a Heart Wise exercise instructor.
WHY?
It’s sometimes too cold, too hot, too wet or too slippery to use your walking poles outdoors. Urban Poling ACTIVATOR and Nordic walking poles are an ideal exercise tool for indoor stationary exercise. (Remember that your poles are also perfect for navigating parking lots and busy hallways on your way to medical appointments.)
HOW?
Simply click on the class of your choice (see below). Access the classes as frequently as you like. Not sure which class is best for you? Please start with Level 1!
HOW MUCH?

Similar to Level 1, but half this class is performed seated and half standing. A slightly faster pace and slightly higher intensity than Level 1.
Level 3 (30 minutes)
All exercises performed standing. Poles are vertical for half the class and horizontal for half. Faster pace and higher intensity than Level 2.
