Nordic Walking

Nordic Walking originated in Scandinavia,

but its popularity is continuing to spread among health-conscious people all over the world. It is good not only for your heart and circulatory system – it is also better for your joints than such other forms of exercise as normal walking or jogging. That's because not only your leg muscles get a work out. Instead, almost your entire musculature – especially in your arms, shoulders, chest, and back – benefit. Nordic Walking and Hiking is not only fun – after just 25 minutes, you'll feel it releasing mood-lifting hormones into your blood stream. It truly is one of the healthiest forms of sport known to Man! And virtually everyone can participate in it. Beginners, people undergoing rehabilitation or who just want to enjoy a pleasant stroll, and hikers. You get to set the pace! You can take it easy, or take broad strides and really get a work-out. Nordic Walking really is an ideal form of sport.
