Nordic Walking is a new form of exercise imported from Finland consisting in walking with specially designed poles. Accessible to everybody, regardless of age and physical training, this is a cheap, funny activity that can be done all year round, together with others and anywhere: in parks, along paths through the woods, on country lanes, beaches or mountains. Three are the available levels of training: wellbeing, fitness and sport, in which everybody can find the kind of exercise that most suits his/her physical condition. From quiet, therapeutic walking, to strong aerobic exercise and up to specific cross training for athletes, the Nordic Walking workout, if correctly done, has a number of healthy effects:
• Looses painful contractions on the neck and shoulders
• Delays the aging process
• Stimulates the disposal of stress induced hormones
• Minimizes cardiac work.
Strengthens the immune system.
