Nordic Walking

Nordic walking is a technique used for walking with fitness walking poles. The nordic walking poles have hand straps or half gloves that enable the walker to use the nordic walking technique, releasing the pole at the end of each stroke.

Nordic walking poles have a fitness tip on them to allow then to be used on hard surfaces.

The benefits of the nordic walking technique include:

• toning the upper body
• relieving strain on the knees, hips, and ankles
• burning up to 40% more calories per mile while feeling no more exertion than regular walking.

Nordic walking poles are available from several manufacturers.
