Nordic Walking is a highly effective, yet low impact, aerobic cross-training method. For sports competitors at all levels, this mode of exercise:
- Spreads the workout across the entire body - thus reducing strain on any particular (over-use) area
- Sustains or builds general aerobic conditioning
- Helps strengthen total musculature - not just the sport-specific muscle groups
- Decreases load on strained or potentially injurious ligaments, tendons, bones or joints
- Develops co-ordination and learning of a new motor skill and movement pattern
- Promotes muscular endurance of minor muscle groups (eg. triceps, gastrocnemius)
- Attractive fitness option – used by elite athletes with highest VO2max levels http://bit.ly/t3Gcbk
