Nordic walking was originally developed as a summer training method for pro athletes in the cross-country, biathlon, and nordic combined Olympic sports divisions. It is a fairly recent, yet very effective body workout. Nordic walking improves fitness and promotes health and wellness.

Benefits of Nordic Walking:

• Very easy and quickly learned 
• Reduces stress on the musculoskeletal system by up to 30% and is therefore especially good for people with knee and back pain 
• Relieves muscular tension in the shoulder and neck region 
• Is the optimum outdoor training for people who want to lose weight 
• Is almost 50% more effective than walking without poles, consumes more than 400 calories per hour instead of 280 for normal walking 
• Provides stability and balance even on slippery ground 
• Improves aerobic endurance and strengthens the muscles of the upper body 
• Enhances cardiac performance and improves circulation 
• Boosts oxygen supply to the entire body due to the active use of the accessory muscles of respiration 
• Is the recommended outdoor sport for sports injury rehabilitation
