Dear nisha
What is Nordic Walking?
Nordic Walking is an enhancement of ordinary walking - it makes something we can all do.... twice as effective!
Nordic Walking uses poles to in order to add two major benefits to walking
· The use of poles means the upper body muscles are used as well as the legs
· The poles help to propel the walker along - this means he/she works harder than usual yet the support given by the poles makes it feel easier!
· The poles help to propel the walker along - this means he/she works harder than usual yet the support given by the poles makes it feel easier!
Nordic
Walking is a specific fitness technique and is not to be confused with
trekking, hill walking or trail running as the poles are not planted in
front of the walker/runner but in a specific way that increases the use
of the upper body. It can be done by anybody, anywhere and does not
require expensive equipment or clothing.
Nordic
Walking is the fastest growing fitness activity in the world and is
used by individuals, personal trainers, health clubs, physiotherapists,
doctors and health promoters because it is highly effective, affordable
and FUN!
Nordic
Walking technique MUST be learnt correctly if the participant is to get
the most out of the activity - the full Health technique that ensures
the whole body works efficiently is only taught by NWUK qualified
Instructors.
