Nordic Walking is…
an outdoor adventure activity AND a personal fitness tool. Work your upper body while simultaneously working your lower body.
Benefits are…

1. It increases your heart rate without increasing your perceived rate of exertion. Basically this means you get a better workout without feeling like you’re working any harder.
2. Burn more calories during your walk.
3. Reduce stress to your knees, hips, and other lower joints.
4. Reduce heel strike force.
5. Strengthen and tone your upper body and create resistance to build better bone density.
6. Distance and intensity can be adapted to weather, terrain, and physical condition of the individual (This one is BIG for weight loss!!!)
7. Build better posture(This one is BIG for wellness and a pain free life!!!)
8. Cross-training for athletes. Maybe you can’t make it to the mountain for skiing or you need a day off from running.
