Nordic walking offers many physiological
benefits including heart
and cardiovascular
health, weight
loss, promotes excellent
posture
and back health.
Using Nordic walking poles for fitness or stability
facilitates a full-body stimulation, an interaction
with the pull of gravity that creates bone
density and spreads the effort throughout the
body. Proper skills and techniques bring about a
user-friendly low impact workout experience. Use
is ageless and without limits from kids to grandmas
to athletes and those with disabilities.
If you are a movement educator interested in teaching
or interested in sharing the benefits of Nordic
Walking, check out our Instructor
Training and Community Walker programs. If you are interested
in Nordic
walking lessons in your area, please go to our
instructor
search page to find one near you.
We do know this....once you try Nordic Walking,
you will never want to fitness walk the old-fashioned
way again! Who do you know who needs to move healthier?
