Nordic Walking with Annelie, Claudine and Satu
Nordic Walking started off in the Scandinavian countries in the beginning of the 70's.
The real breakthrough came in 1997 when a Finnish Sports Institute in cooperation with other agencies, developed specific walking sticks for Nordic walkers. This made the present Nordic Walking technique possible and the activity grew in popularity all over Europe.
What is Nordic Walking ?
Nordic Walking is a full-body work out, an active walk that increases your overall strength and endurance.
It can be done by anybody, anywhere, at any time of the year.
Nordic Walking is very sociable and easy to learn.
The technique is simple; Nordic Walking uses two specially designed walking sticks to work the upper body while walking. It's a simple enhancement of normal walking.
With a good technique, you enhance your walk with 30-40% and exercise 80% of your muscles.
