NORDIC WALKING CHESHIRE (more)

The Nordic Walking Technique?

Yes, it is different to everyday walking or walking with trekking/hiking poles that can be bought cheaply from outdoor pursuit shops or from Argos.

The poles are a single piece of carbon fibre or a high amount of carbon fibre - they are light.

They also have a glove which connects pole to hand and wrist.

You can learn how to hold the poles and walk with them usually within 10 minutes.

Nordic Walking Equipment You'll Need

Aside from proper footwear, all you need to enjoy Nordic Walking is a Pair of Nordic Walking Poles. Nordic Walking Poles have removable rubber tips which completely absorb the poles impact on hard surfaces, such as concrete or asphalt and come in various styles (fixed length, collapsible) and vary significantly from Cross Country Ski poles and Trekking poles!
To gain the benefits from walking with poles use only Nordic Walking poles or you may be risking added stress to knees hip and back!
