Nordic Fit

Nordic Fit is a 90-minute outdoor fitness session designed to improve fitness, coordination, balance and strength. Using Nordic Walking poles for support and therapy bands for resistance, these sessions are suitable for adults of all ages and fitness levels.

Sessions take place at Charlotte’s Wood in Wilby once or twice a month on Friday afternoons from 1.30pm – 3.00pm. No prior Nordic Walking experience is needed — just come ready for a fun and effective workout in nature.

Charlotte's Wood is a place where people can connect with nature. It is a tranquil, privately owned woodland in the heart of rural East Anglia - large enough to lose yourself in but not large enough to get lost in!

The woodland has a path running around the perimeter that makes it accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Next to Charlotte's Wood are two luxury holiday lodges and a cosy log cabin sits on the woodland edge. The cabin is used as a venue for meetings and training and as a meeting point and shelter during woodland activities. It can also be hired as a place to stay. There is a toilet in the cabin at the entrance to the woodland and a compost loo in the woodland that is used during sessions.

At the woodland Charlotte facilitates various activities and events for adults and children throughout the year. The overarching aims of these are to provide meaningful nature connection experiences for all in order to promote physical and emotional wellbeing, to bring people together and promote social interactions and to generate a lifelong love of being outside in the natural world. These experiences include:

* Forest School Leader training, taster days and CPD sessions for Forest School Leaders and assistants.
* Wellbeing Days and PD Days for school staff and other organisations.
* Seasonal Wellbeing Retreat Days.
* 'Learn to Nordic Walk' courses and regular Health and Fitness Walks.
* 'Wild Wood Holiday Club' for children aged 4-11 years.
* 'Little Woodies' - Weekly Parent and Toddler Forest School sessions.
* Seasonal Events for parents and toddlers such as the Halloween Spooktacular, Easter Eggstravaganza, Elf and Fairy Party, Teddy Bears' Picnic and Christmas Little Woodies.
