Nordic
walking is a particularly careful and mild way to exercise the whole body, almost
every muscle gets a certain degree of training. In the spring of '97, in Finnland,
nordic walking was presented for the first time as an effective form of sport
and has since then enraptured roughly a million people.
In central Europe it is slowly becoming the trend-sport number one. Nordic walking
is a sport for beginners as well as for those rediscovering their sporting tendencies
and, of course, athletes with higher ambitions.
