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.
