Why Nordic Walking?

Original Nordic Walking is the best physical activity in the world because every muscle works!

• When Nordic Walking, you exercise all major muscle groups. Your arms, back, abdomen, side trunk muscles, muscles in the pelvic area and legs.
• When Nordic Walking, you exercise both your respiratory organs and your cardio-vascular system: your lungs, heart and blood vessels
• Nordic Walking can be practised anywhere, anytime: on asphalt, in parks, beaches and woods.
• Nordic Walking movements are completely natural, because they are similar to the movements of normal walking.
• Nordic Walking is suitable for everybody. Pole walking can be practised by professional athletes, keep-fit enthusiasts and those wanting to promote their health; whether older individuals, young people or children.
• Use the walking poles to do gymnastics to become more supple, strong and toned
