Cross-country skiing has long been recognised for its supremacy as the form of physical activity for building cardio-vascular fitness and it's high effectiveness in the cannibalisation of calories. 

Now, thanks to Nordic Pole Walking, all this and more can be achieved  without the skis and the snow, anytime; 
all year round... 
in any climate... 
on any surface!
 

~ Burn an average of 20% and as much as 40% more calories

~ Increase oxygen consumption uptake by an average 20%
   and in some cases oxygen consumption increased by 30-58%
   depending on poling intensity

~ Greater increases in muscle endurance and toning in your shoulders,
   back, chest and upper arms and abdominal region

~ Relieves pain in the neck-shoulder area

~ Less impact on sore or worn joints

~ Enhanced balance and stability with better posture alignment

~ Greater improvements in mood disturbances

~ More fun/ addictive 

All of the above can be achieved without an increase in perceived exertion. Simply by adding poles to your walk you can turn it into a whole body workout in the same session.

Nordic Pole Walking is great for individuals who

~ Can't jog or run but want the same benefits

~ Want to lose weight/size faster for better health

~ Suffer balance, stability or mobility problems

~ Have movement restriction and painful joints

~ Need a safe an effective form of rehabilitation exercise for many conditions

~ Need more than just a walk
