Nordic walking uses specially designed poles to create a low stress total body workout which delivers profoundly greater benefits than regular walking.
It is an activity that is perfectly suited to Australia’s climate, landscape and ‘outdoorsy’ lifestyle. Nordic Walking can be done anywhere that normal walking is performed - on sand, gravel paths, asphalt or grass, and on flat or hilly landscapes.
Nordic Walking involves a simple and rhythmic yet definite technique which is easy to learn. Correct instruction is essential in order to ensure that the movement is correct and can deliver the expected benefits.
Learning to walk with poles correctly is like learning to ride a bike - it takes a bit of time to get the hang of the technique, but once learned it is learned for life.
People love the fact that they can have a great workout which gives great health benefits without the strain, pain and detrimental effects to other parts of the body.
Whether it is for professional or personal reasons, Nordic Walking has plenty to offer.
