WALX on The Chase is your gateway to health and fitness delivered in the picturesque Cannock Chase and surrounding woodlands. Nordic Walking is a unique way to exercise that everyone can do with a variety of training intensities that will help you achieve your goals. We recognise that everyone wants something different, whether you are simply out for a gentle social walk ending at a café or pub or high-intensity Ultimate Nordic fitness class. Our classes are fun and enjoyable and are designed to get you fitter, more active; more often. WALX on The Chase is run by Jon Wood, an ex-IT Professional who is passionate about helping people become as healthy, functional and as disease proof as they can be. One of his favourite mantras is ‘Strive for progress and not perfection’ so let’s start your journey today and see how much fun we can have as we take you on your journey. It doesn’t matter how slow you go you will always lap the person sat on the couch!

Wednesday WALX - Forecast Rain. We had our usual Explorer and Wellness WALX at 9:30 and 11:00. We were suitably dressed, ready for the expected weather conditions. Fortune was with us as the mild temperatures and overcast conditions didn't provide more than a few minutes of drizzle. Locations were from Penkridge Bank and Birches Valley.

We started our Walking to Wellness group in July and learnt the benefits and techniques of using Total Body Walking poles to exercise the whole body. Best of all, the exercise classes are outdoors and we have a refreshment break to end the session, which has included several cafes across and close to Cannock Chase. The participants have increased the distance walked up to 2 miles and are improving all aspects of their physical and mental fitness.
