What is Nordic Walking? |
|
| Perhaps the easiest way for people to understand what Nordic Walking is all about is to read this quote from a Nordic Walking beginner: | |
“It’s kind of like cross country skiing that you can do all year round, just without the skis.” |
|
| Nordic Walking started as a training technique of Nordic skiers who used poles on dry land to mimic skiing arm motions while walking or striding. As the fitness benefits became more recognized throughout Europe, it grew in popularity. | |
| In the 1990’s the concept came to fitness instructors in Canada and the US, where now Nordic Walking is finding more and more fans. People everywhere can get their Nordic Walking poles and walk around their neighborhood, at the local park, or take a drive to a scenic area to take a great walk. | |
