Nordic walking What is it?

It is a form of recreation based on marches with special sticks. It was invented in Finland in the 1920s as a year-round training for cross-country skiers. In comparison to ordinary walking, Nordic walking involves applying force to poles on both sides (each side). Therefore, people who practice Nordic walking to a greater extent, though less intensively, engage the muscles of the body. What's more, the muscles (including the chest, triceps, biceps, arms and stomach) are also stimulated differently than in a normal walk. This leads to greater amplification than with ordinary walking or jogging.
