The Stick People…..Nordic Walking

Have you seen anyone walking with cross country skiing type poles in the shoreline area? Well, it was probably a Nordic Walker!

What is Nordic Walking?  The fastest growing sport for the last 5 years in northern and central Europe, it is a form of exercise which gives you cardiovascular benefits similar to running, while being easy on the knee, hip and ankle joints.  With Nordic Walking poles you exercise the upper body, increase mobility in the neck and back and, most importantly, this phenomenal weight loss tool can be done anywhere and anytime.
