Nordic Walking

A sound sport across lovely sceneries

Already in the 30s people - especially cross-country skiers and biathletes - were using poles for summer training and walking. In the 80s it was re-discovered in the States, but it wasn't until 1997 that it gained popularity as (Finnish) Nordic Walking.

Since then it has been booming. The special kind of sports might be done with all weathers and uses two specially designed poles to work the upper body while walking. The poles take off strain of knees and ankles and give your body more balance.
