Learn to Walk!

Nordic Walking began as a summer training exercise for serious cross country skiers. Fitness walkers in Europe adopted Nordic Walking as a time-efficient, low-stress, total body workout. It is now becoming popular in North America.

Nordic Walking uses specially designed poles to activate both the upper and lower body increasing the effectiveness of a walking program. You can burn up to 46% more calories and increase heart rate.

Other benefits are:
-Increases upper body strength and endurance.
-Reduces stress on the joints.
-Activates arms, triceps, abdominals, legs, glutes.
-Releases neck and shoulder tension.
-Enhances mood.
-Allows the same exercise intensity as running, without the high-impact.
