About Nordic Walking
Nordic Walking is one of the latest fitness trends in North America. It is defined as fitness walking with specially designed light-weight poles. Originally from Finland, this activity has become very popular in Europe and is now taking America by storm. The many benefits appeals to a lot of people of different ages and fitness levels.
Here are a few reasons:
• NW is a low impact, full body activity, that by adding upper body involvement will burn 20-46% more calories than normal walking.
•NW can be done anywhere; sidewalks, trails, parks, and beaches.
•NW can be matched to each individual’s ability from rehabilitation after an injury or surgery, to sport level intense training.
•NW is a lot of fun in a group fitness class, but also in a one on one setting.
•The poles provide balance and stability as well as safety.
•The correct technique allows you to “open up” the short and tight muscles in front of the body (hip flexors, pectorals and shoulder muscles), and strengthen weak muscles in the back of the body (calves, hamstrings, glutes, back and triceps). By sitting too much, we create this front/back imbalance.
•NW can help relieve neck and shoulder pain.
•NW poles take the stress off the joints, especially the knees, to make up hill and down hill walking easier.
•And last but not least, it enhances your mood and gets you outside.
So, get a GRIP on health. Prevent degeneration of your muscles and bones and add Nordic Walking to your weekly workout routine.
