Nordic Walking in the largest Nature Fitness Park® in the Alps!

If you set out to invent the ideal form of physical exercise it would be

simple, easy to learn and something you can do anywhere at all times without a lot of bother and with minimal time investment. It should be open to people of all ages, with a spectrum ranging from light exercise for beginners all the way to intensive training for the experienced. The exercise should train all muscle groups to achieve a good effect. It should tone the body, build stamina and dexterity at the same time, and eat up those calories like little else. All this should be possible with the least strain to the joints and spinal column. Ideally, it would be an energising open-air activity out in the fresh air, helping you to relax and reduce stress. The icing on the cake would be if it relieved the frequent stress in the neck and shoulder area, and do something good for those stomach and back muscles which have become slack from too much sitting. There is a name for this healthy form of exercise: NORDIC WALKING.

Body fat – energy balance analysis

Body awareness is increasing steadily. If the body is in shape, the soul is equally “well”. The body measurement is based on the principle that various body tissues (fat mass, water percentage, musculature, bone structure) create different areas of resistance when subjected to a mild electrical current. These differences in resistance are used to evaluate body cell mass, fat mass, lean mass and body water percentage.

Please reserve a body fat analysis before you arrive on holiday.
