Nordic Walking is a relatively new physical activity that involves walking with specially designed poles and a learned technique to create a low stress, total body workout with the added support of poles and with less stress and strain on your joints.
Nordic Walking is a low-impact form of fitness walking which will give you a low impact, total body fitness workout that:
• Increases your cardio fitness
• Develops core stability, balance and strength
