What to Expect:
Pulses will get racing from the start with some Nordic walking. You will use walking poles to get a full body work out, a great aerobic exercise and perfect for everyone new to exercise.
You will then have to slow your heart rate down as you try to take a steady aim in the biathlon style shooting range - similar to what is used in the winter olympics. Nerf guns fire harmless foam darts - kids beware, your parents are going to want some of the action!
What to Bring:
- Comfy shoes
- Dress for the weather, you will be outside for the duration of the activity.
Poles and Nerf guns provided
