Discover Nordic Walking- The New Keep Fit Craze

Thanks for covering Nordic Walking with a great article!

It is important to note that real Nordic Walking Poles include comfortable finger-less glove type straps. The most durable and effective straps are patented by the Salomon Ski Company.

Also, it is important to look for one-piece poles custom fit to an individual’s height. Once-piece poles are safer, lighter and much more durable than cheap twist-locking adjustable/telescoping/collapsible poles. Ski Rental Departments all across the country use one-piece poles for many of the same reasons one-piece poles are best for Nordic Walking too.

Perfect length poles help us to automatically walk with a super straight back – better walking posture is biomechanically a good thing. This improved walking posture when combined with the unique 4-Wheel-Drive type action of walking with poles radically reduces the stress to the shins, knees, hips and back. Nordic Walking is low impact and yet provides a highly effective workout – burning more calories and working more muscle groups than regular walking.

Please let me know if you have any questions at any time.

Have a great day – Ski Walking is the best,
