What is Nordic Walking?
Nordic Walking started as a summer training exercise for cross country skiers and now fitness walkers all over Europe have adopted Nordic Walking as a time efficient, low stress total body workout. Nordic Walking is a fun and social outdoor activity, with your friends, and being outdoors in the fresh air will give you a great sense of general wellbeing, boost energy levels and will leave you feeling invigorated!
Nordic Walking is a specific fitness technique and is not to be confused with trekking, hill walking or trail running as the poles are not planted in front of the walker/runner but in a specific way that increases the use of the upper body. It can be done by anybody, anywhere and does not require expensive equipment or clothing.
What are the benefits of Nordic Walking?
- Nordic Walking tones the upper and lower body at the same time
Nordic Walking reduces the effects of RSI (repetitive strain injury), can reduce back pain and improve spinal mobility as well as improve your posture.
Nordic Walking burns on average 30—50% more calories than normal walking at the same speed, and most people find it makes walking more comfortable.
- Nordic Walking poles provide additional stability and balance for your joints.
Nordic Walking is safe and effective way to lose weight.
- Nordic Walking reduces impact stress to your knees and lower joints
- Poles propel the walker along, making it easier to move faster then normal without feeling the effort.
