Nordic Walking Instruction
BECOME A WALKING MACHINE!
The most basic stroll becomes a surprisingly easy, full body workout
At STAMINA® Clinic we often treat patients who have had disc, back and knee problems as a result of injuries, chronic illness, running and high impact sports. NORDIC WALKING is an excellent fitness alternative. It provides many health benefits including a great cardio workout, high caloric burn, and decreased joint compression. This is good news for many people who have joint pain and find walking a challenge. The poles help with stability and improved posture while taking the effort out of distance walking.
