SUMMARY:Nordic walking
DESCRIPTION:Nordic walking has more benefits than walking\, it brings many more muscles into play than ordinary walking – your chest\, arms\, shoulders\, abs and other core muscles are all involved as well as your legs. Nordic walking poles propel you forwards helping you walk faster\, raising your heart rate and expending energy. \nJoin us at our Nordic walking taster and development session where a qualified instructor will show you the basics of the Nordic walking technique\, preparing you to join future practice walks. Nordic walking poles will be provided. \nUsing the correct technique and poles will help you target all major upper and lower body muscles with every step. This in turn improves posture\, and body tone and speeds up metabolism. It also reduces the strain on the back\, neck and shoulders too. \nThis session is suited to beginners and improvers. \nPart of our Communities Connected programme. \nAdditional Information\nPlease note that this walk is weather-dependent. In the event of forecast adverse weather\, Greener Kirkcaldy staff will decide whether to go ahead with the walk the day before. We will contact attendees via phone and email if the walk cannot go ahead. \nPlease wear flexible walking shoes or trainers. Hillwalking and hiking boots are not recommended. Prepare for outdoor weather. Try not to carry a rucksack as it hampers learning a bum bag would be better suited. \nYou should have a reasonable level of fitness and be able to walk 1 mile. Regular Nordic walking can improve fitness\, aid balance and increase coordination\, posture and strength. \nThe session will last for 1 hour 30 minutes. \nRemember to also bring your own water and snacks if you feel you need them. \nIf you want to know more specific information about the route please contact us. You can call 01592 858458 or email info@greenerkirkcaldy.org.uk. \nBooking Instructions\nThe event is free but booking is required. You can choose to purchase a ticket with a donation.

SUMMARY:Fife Pilgrim Way bike ride - Dunfermline to Lochore Meadows
DESCRIPTION:Cycle through Dunfermline then open countryside and head through the village of Kingseat to Loch Fitty and Blairadam Forest.

It is ideal for people looking to explore Fife off-road. \nIn this series\, we have broken down the long distance into shorter sections.

SUMMARY:Nordic walking
DESCRIPTION:Nordic walking has more benefits than walking\, it brings many more muscles into play than ordinary walking – your chest\, arms\, shoulders\, abs and other core muscles are all involved as well as your legs. Nordic walking poles propel you forwards helping you walk faster\, raising your heart rate and expending energy. \nJoin us at our Nordic walking taster session where a qualified instructor will show you the basics of the Nordic walking technique\, preparing you to join future practice walks. Nordic walking poles will be provided. \nUsing the correct technique and poles will help you target all major upper and lower body muscles with every step. This in turn improves posture\, and body tone and speeds up metabolism. It also reduces the strain on the back\, neck and shoulders too. \nPart of our Communities Connected programme. \nAdditional Information\nPlease note that this walk is weather-dependent. In the event of forecast adverse weather\, Greener Kirkcaldy staff will decide whether to go ahead with the walk the day before. We will contact attendees via phone and email if the walk cannot go ahead. \nPlease wear flexible walking shoes or trainers. Hillwalking and hiking boots are not recommended. Prepare for outdoor weather. Try not to carry a rucksack as it hampers learning. \nYou should have a reasonable level of fitness and be able to walk 1 mile. Regular Nordic walking can improve fitness\, aid balance and increase coordination\, posture and strength. \nThe session will last for 1 hour 30 minutes. \nRemember to also bring your own water and snacks if you feel you need them. \nIf you want to know more specific information about the route please contact us. You can call 01592 858458 or email info@greenerkirkcaldy.org.uk. \nBooking Instructions\nThe event is free but booking is required. You can choose to purchase a ticket with a donation.
