Nordic Walking
What is Nordic Walking?
Active walking with carbon poles with the goal of shifting one's centre of balance onto the arms and thus to enable an especially effective training for the entire body. With Nordic Walking it is not important what the participant brings to the sport, but what the sport can do for the participant.
