Nordic Walking.

Nordic walking is a fun, sociable, efficient and low impact way to work on your fitness or lose weight. The biggest difference between walking and Nordic walking is that you use carbon poles to propel you along, extending your stride and using a greater percentage of your muscles than when you walk normally. The technique is a simple enhancement of normal arm swing when walking. It also works like cross training in the gym, working your upper and lower body. Like normal walking, people of all fitness levels, including pregnant women, can Nordic walk, but the health benefits are much greater. Individuals with differing abilities and fitness levels can all exercise in the same group allowing people to walk together and talk at the same time. As you use your legs, arms, shoulders and chest/back muscles when Nordic walking, up to 90% of the body’s muscles are actively working. On average, you will, therefore, expend 20% more calories than when naturally walking at the same walking speed. Nordic walking is a fantastic way to exercise whilst enjoying the beautiful scenery Cornwall has to offer.
