As its name suggests, Nordic walking is a sport straight from Finland.
This walking technique was originally used in the 1970s by cross-country ski champions to maintain their level during the summer season. They called this “ski-walking”.
Nordic walking is aimed at a very wide audience: young and old, high-level athletes and beginners alike. However, make no mistake, this gentle sport is also very complete and its health benefits are numerous. And for that you only need a pair of good shoes and a pair of poles.
