Are you old enough to recall the song by the Rooftop Singers? It was called “Walk right in.” That’s where the title of today’s blog came from. A new way of walking – Nordic Walking! Listen to it here.
Many students could care less about losing weight.They just need the support that Nordic Walking provides. AND with NO joint impact. Doctors love it…just ask yours.
Feel that back support?
There is a center in Finland that has studied women who had computer related jobs… (don’t we all)? Those working on computers complained of issues in the neck and shoulder areas. Some even had cervical and pectoral spine concerns. After a period of Nordic Walking, half of them noticed that their symptoms in the neck and shoulders disappeared. Further, half said the mobility of their cervical and pectoral spine was way better.

The more you dig, the more you find that it really is a good idea to take up Nordic Walking. Among older persons, the use of poles is a factor of safety as they may prevent falling at the same time they are improving mobility. I’ve gotten feedback from many who used to use a cane….well, a cane is better than falling, but it makes you walk asymmetric. With two poles, your body is balanced – LESS back pain. It’s obvious to me.
It’s still emerging in the US of A. Now you have even more ammunition to tell folks who yell “Hey Rick, where the snow?”
Yes, Everybody is talking ‘bout new way of walking!!!!
