GET INTO NORDIC WALKING!

 

What is Nordic walking??

Nordic walking is a very effective way to really burn calories and shed excess fat.  Nordic walking is far better than just regular walking, as you can burn 40% more calories! Pole-wielders burn up to 40 percent more calories than regular walkers, physiologists say, and because users engage their upper bodies and abdominal region, they work out 90 percent of their body's muscles. Just like Cross Country Skiing, but without snow… What a fantastic way to get in shape!

 It first began as a way for Finnish cross country skiers to continue training in summer, but caught on quickly throughout Scandinavia, and now is catching on  in the US.

I train with Nordic poles several times a week. My husband and I head to the hills around our home and really push it uphill for 30 minutes (sweating big time all the way!) and then we run for 40 minutes, descending back down.  We have a blast! Talk about fun! When ever I am outdoors, I just seem to work harder! The beauty around me and the fresh air…it makes me feel really alive, and helps me to remember the good things in life.

Nordic walking is an excellent way to firm up fast. Incorporate this invigorating sport into your training regime today!

If you would like to purchase some Nordic poles of your own, visit my Products page. You can find them there!
