Walking has never been so much fun! Nordic Walking that is!

 

(picture cross country skiing without the snow -and cold ) It's invigorating, fun, and best of all, easy to learn.

 

Nordic Walking burns up to 40% more calories than walking alone, is a low-impact, whole-body activity that improves cardiovascular fitness, exercises upper body and leg muscles for toning and endurance and is as easy as walking! Nordic Walking can also be combined with jogging and running for more rigorous workouts. Nordic Walking is for everyone!
