Nordic walking looks like walking with ski poles — and that’s exactly what it is, except the poles transform an ordinary walk into a genuine full-body workout that engages your upper body, burns more and eases joint load. The nordic guide: how the poles transform it, the benefits and how to get started.

The Poles-Transform-It Case

Why poles turn walking full-body: the poles-engage-the-upper-body (the poles engaging arms, shoulders and back from the nordic-walking-technique chapter — the the-upper-body; the arms-engaged), the from-lower-body-to-full-body (the poles making walking a-full-body workout from the nordic-walking chapter — the the-full-body; the whole-body), the burns-more (the Nordic-walking burning more than regular-walking from the nordic-walking-weight-loss chapter — the the-burn; the more-calories), the eases-joint-load (the poles easing joint-load from the nordic-walking chapter — the the-joints; the joint-friendly), and the reframe (the Nordic-walking as poles-transforming an-ordinary-walk into a full-body, higher-burn, joint-easing workout).

The Benefits Breakdown

The benefits of Nordic walking: the the-full-body-engagement (the full-body (upper-and-lower) engagement from the nordic-walking chapter — the the-full-body; the whole-body), the the-higher-calorie-burn (the more calories than regular-walking from the nordic-walking-weight-loss chapter — the the-burn; the burns-more), the the-upper-body-and-posture (the upper-body-and-posture benefits from the nordic-walking-technique chapter — the the-upper-body; the posture-too), the the-joint-friendly (the poles reducing joint-load from the nordic-walking chapter — the the-joint-friendly; the easier-on-joints), the the-cardiovascular (the cardiovascular benefits from the nordic-walking chapter — the the-cardio; the heart-benefit), the the-core-engagement (the core-engagement from the poling from the nordic-walking-technique chapter — the the-core; the core-too), the the-social-and-outdoor (the social, outdoor Nordic-walking from the nordic-walking-group-social chapter — the the-social; the outdoors-and-social), and the the-accessible (the Nordic-walking being accessible to-many from the nordic-walking chapter — the the-accessibility; the for-many).
