Nordic walking

Nordic walking was originally a summer training regime for cross-country skiers. It's based on using specially designed walking poles in a way that harnesses the power of the upper body to propel you forward as you walk. It is now a recognised way to turn a walk into whole-body exercise that can be done by anybody, anywhere.

Nordic walking is a full-body exercise that's easy on the joints and suitable for all ages and fitness levels, but it is always recommended that you have your emergency contact information on you or on your mobile phone.
