What is Nordic Walking?
Nordic Walking is a great way to get out and enjoy the countryside. Nordic walking will exercise just about all your body and you can make it as energetic as you want. Most importantly, Nordic walking is fun and enjoyable on your own and even better with friends.
Based loosely on cross country skiing, Nordic walking originated as a means of summer training. Nordic walking is a more dynamic form of walking.
Actively using poles means you are using nearly 90% of your muscles and burning about 40-50% more calories than when walking without poles. If you are short of time or need to help hips, knees or ankles the this is a fun actively to try, you'll find over time that you'll even tone up lots of muscles.
Nordic walking is great for releasing tension in the neck and shoulders and has been shown to be really beneficial for RSI and back problems.
