Some of the Benefits of Nordic Walking

Nordic Walking can be an effective cardiovascular activity as it works all major muscle groups in the body when proper technique is used. Up to 90% of your muscles are involved as compared to 70% when normal walking without poles. It can increase your heart rate an average of 10-15% more than normal walking. 

NW can decrease joint impact injuries and gives less stress to the knees, hips and feet. By using poles it gives the body beneficial weight distribution, resulting in less stress on the joints. Many ex-runners Nordic Walk at the same intensity level as a runner but with less impact on the joints.

Using poles also gives added stability to those who may have balance problems. 

Many people participate in NW for weight loss as it burns more calories (up to 25-50% more) than walking without poles. This means you can burn up to 450 calories per hour compared to 280 calories per hour normal walking.

In their own words, "How Nordic Walking has Benefited My Life"
"Several years ago, I began walking to help deal with a medical condition.  I reached the point were I was averaging 3 mile walks, six or seven days a week.  In July, my doctor suggested that I needed to increase the amount and/or intensity of my exercise in order to maintain the medical benefit.  I took Jeanne's Nordic Walking class in early October and have been Nordic Walking ever since.  I have found that my walking pace has increased (probably due to having to swing my arms with the poles).  I have also been able to walk longer distances as the poles bear some of my weight and keep my feet from getting tired.
An additional benefit has been a loosening of my upper back so that I can turn my neck and shoulders more easily when backing my car.
I believe that Nordic Walking has had a positive affect on my health.
Thanks for introducing me to Nordic Walking, Jeanne."
