After millions of years, people can
finally stand, move and walk the way
in which they were intended!
Nordic walking offers many benefits
for anyone who picks up a pair of
poles. From the frailest human being
to top-level athletes, use of Nordic
Walking poles represents an evolution
of human movement—as tools to
reinforce the extremely necessary
human condition of moving with efficient
posture, and at the same time conditioning
the heart. The benefits of simply
walking at a leisurely pace—let
alone a faster, harder pace--are compelling
for back health, weight loss, bone
density, cardiovascular fitness and
so much more. Use is ageless and without
limits.
Lightweight Nordic walking poles improve
lower body gait and core function
but what is most remarkable is the
upper body involvement. Poles facilitate
movement and rotation throughout the
torso and upper body to balance out
muscular demands. Small rubber tips
become your strength and endurance
tools that send instant stimulus to
postural muscles to keep the structure
upright and the back healthy.
Despite the fitness industry’s
efforts for many years to inspire
the world to fitness”, over
80% of the population still doesn't
exercise! As a personal trainer, fitness
instructor and award-winning program
developer in the fitness business
for more than 25 years, I see Nordic
walking as the first realistic, doable
path to really help people…to
change that staggering percentage
of non-exercisers!
