Nordic Walking Poles

What is Nordic Walking?

Nordic Walking is fitness walking using specifically designed Nordic Walking poles, or Nordic Walking sticks, to engage the upper body during walking. The use of Nordic Walking poles offers a very efficient, aerobic and easy way to train almost every muscle of the body. When walking with Nordic Walking poles, the movement of the arms, legs and body reflect the rhythm of movements when walking firmly without poles, but with added benefits.

Benefits of Walking with Nordic Walking Poles

You don’t have to be a serious athlete to enjoy the benefits of Nordic Walking. Even if you've never been active before, with a qualified Nordic Walking Instructor you can discover just how easy it is to learn.  Here are some of the key benefits of walking with Nordic Walking poles:

1. Using Nordic Walking poles allows walkers to train their upper body muscles as well as their legs, whilst minimising pressure on knee and ankle joints
2. Nordic Walking improves postural strength, core stability, tones the whole body and can ease neck and shoulder problems
3. Nordic Walking poles help to propel the walker along – this results in a more energetic workout than usual.   However the support provided by the poles makes it feel easier!
