Nordic Walking
Train for Nordic Walking: Only $39.00!
Welcome to the information and training source for Nordic Walking sponsored by LEKI.
Nordic Walking began as a summer training exercise for serious "cross country" skiers and was quickly adopted by fitness walkers in Europe as a time-efficient, low-stress, total body workout. The sport is rapidly taking off in the U.S. as information about this exciting and highly effective form of exercise spreads.
Through Nordic Walking you will burn up to 40% more calories, pump up your cardio by increasing oxygen consumption up to 25% and reduce stress to your knees and lower joints. You’ll reduce heel strike by 26% and get a total body workout that strengthens your upper body and creates resistance to build better bone density.
