What Is Nordic Walking / Pole Walking / Ski Walking?
Quite simply, Nordic walking is using specially-designed poles for fitness walking. Using poles, you transform regular walking into a total-body exercise that’s actually gentler on your knees and joints. You get a better aerobic exercise while adding light resistance training for your arms and upper body that you don’t get with regular walking. Note that not all poles are the same. In fact, the innovative new Boomyah™ Tone ‘n Trek™ poles include several unique user-friendly features making them the most significant advance in Nordic walking poles in years.
