Nordic Walking - Fitness, Hamilton
Nordic Walking evolved as summer training for cross country skiers but has now become a fantastic form of exercise and/or rehabilitation for anyone. Nordic Walking has great health benefits as a general exercise for people of any age or level of fitness. Best of all, Nordic Walking can be done on grass, sand, pavement, up and down hills…almost anywhere.
Using Nordic Walking poles can be very helpful for people with lower joint problems as it reduces the weight on hips, knees etc (also a benefit to those who are overweight) and can provide support if you have balance problems. With the correct technique,Nordic Walking can not only work your legs, but upper body as well, and burning off more calories, simply by going for a walk.
