Nordic Walking
WHAT IS NORDIC WALKING?
A walking style that emulates cross-country skiing - the push off uses poles
- The poles have rubber tips for pavement/street use and metal tips for dirt
- A sturdy set of Nordic Walking poles is required.
- The poles need to be sized appropriately for your height.
- It is advisable to have a training session on using them optimally before setting out on your own.
- This is a fully body exercise which can burn up to 40% more calories than without the poles! As it demands more from the back, chest and arm muscles
- Good speeds & intense workouts can be achieved through the use of the poles.
