NORDIC WALKING
Nordic walking is traditional walking with (special) poles. The term and method are simple, but this new form of exercise is all the more effective. In Scandinavia, around 20% of the entire population regularly exercise in this way. Classic, traditional walking becomes a very effective full-body workout without any special additional effort, which therefore brings very good training effects.
