Nordic Walking in brief:
Nordic Walking means getting fit without the usual symptoms of over-exertion. This is why this new form of
stamina training is gaining ever more devotees of all ages. Conditioning training has never been so efficient
and yet so gentle. Correct use of the sticks means that between 20 and 50% more energy is used and the
muscles of the upper body, arms and legs are trained effectively. Nordic Walking therefore means fitness
for the whole body.
