What is Nordic Pole Walking?
Ever seen anyone walking around with ski poles and it’s the middle of the Summer? This trend is called Nordic Pole Walking, and has been helping people get into shape and lose weight for quite some time now. By using 90% of your muscles and burning 40% more calories than regular walking, you can see why it is becoming so popular! What’s the difference between regular and Nordic walking?
Nordic walking involves applying force to the poles with every step you take. You are able to exercise more of you body and muscles while using the poles compared to just walking along a path. While walking with the poles, it is possible to work out your chest, back, arms, abs, and shoulder muscles. Nordic walking can also help to increase your heart rate, oxygen consumption, and help you to burn more calories without making you feel completely exhausted at the end of the work out. By using the poles, you can work on the range of motion (ROM), which engages your abs, arms, shoulders, chest and back muscles. The poles also help reduce stress on the joints by providing stability.
