NORDIC WALKING POLES

This pair are heavy-duty Nordic Walking poles! Anti-shock rubber feet help protect your wrists, elbows, knees, and legs from the shock of each step. Anatomically formed grips and adjustable wrist straps are designed to provide safe and optimal handling on the trail. The bottom ends are equipped with durable carbide tips. Poles are also available in customed design.

Why is Nordic Walking better than just walking?

Nordic Walking increases your heart rate, oxygen consumption and caloric expenditure without increasing your perceived rate of exertion. You don't feel like you're working any harder but, in addition to working your legs, you're experiencing a full range of motion that engages the abs, arms, shoulders, upper chest and back muscles. The poles provide additional stability and help reduce stress in the knees and other joints. Bone density can be increased through this sort of resistance training, and posture also improves through use of the proper technique and arm motion. Clinical and anecdotal reports indicate that this type of exercise may prove beneficial in broad range of conditions, including the arthrides, back pain, cardiac syndromes, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, obesity, osteoporosis, repetitive stress injury, thoracic outlet syndrome, depression, mood disorders, and more.

Heart rate is 5-17 beats per minute higher (e.g., 130 beats per minute in normal walking, versus 147 beats per minute in Nordic Walking).
Increases oxygen consumption and burns approximately 400 calories per hour (compared with 280 calories per hour for normal walking).
Releases pain and muscle tension in the neck and shoulder region, increasing the lateral mobility of the neck and spine.
Total body workout involves 90% of all muscles; actively engages forearm extensor and flexor muscles, rear part of the shoulder muscles, the large pectoral and broad back muscles; strengthens upper body and creates resistance to build better bone density.
Reduces load on knees and other joints
Reduces heel strike force
Consumes approximately 400 calories per hour (compared with 280 calories per hour for normal walking)
