More muscles, more benefits! Nordic walking engages up to 90% of your muscles from the tips of your fingers to the tips of your toes.

Standard walking focuses its effort in your lower body engaging mostly your lower limbs with some core engagement to keep you upright. Nordic walking takes that and brings the workout into your all around core (including obliques which help shape your waist) up into your arms and back to optimize your posture and energy output for greater results.

Think more calories burnt, greater strength building, and added posture improvement when compared to walking without poles and without that plant, push, propel technique of Nordic walking!

Blood flow makes your brain go! When we think about getting our blood pumping we may think about our heart, maybe our lungs, certainly our flushed cheeks, but have you ever considered that improved blood flow could affect your brain?

Stress and aging can affect our brain's function but regular exercise can help maintain a more productive mind aiding in executive function, memory, and processing speed. What you may notice is easier decision making, higher motivation, and less grasping for the right word.

If you happen to be on a trail that has long incline or decline sections, it may be worth it to adjust your poles for your trek. Since our poles are adjusted based on a 90° elbow angle for flat ground, your technique may be affected when we’re walking for long periods up or down a hill.

Additionally, for safety, you may want to try a wider stance when going downhill, whether you adjust your poles or not. If you feel uncontrolled on the decline, consider walking in a zig-zag pattern to alter the effect of the angle on your joints.

The more you experience different terrain, the more you should learn about safety and technique! Of course, if you’re out with us, we’ll be sure to help you during your walk with tips for terrain on our more advanced and technical adventures!
