Most of us churn those sticks to burn calories and raise our heart rate without jamming our knees. I found this on the web recently. The person is unknown and not important. But the message is spot on.
Head’s up for optimum breathing and back support.
Read on, my friends. How about commenting and let others know your feelings. Why do YOU Nordic Walk?
“When I was an ultra marathoner, I loved running far and in the woods and in my town. But, then I suffered an injury eventually having both of my knees replaced. So I looked for something that gave me back what I had when I was running. And I found that in Nordic Walking! NW gave me back:
• the feeling of running,
• enjoyment of being outside and getting free vitamin D from the sun,
• exercise for my titanium knees so they are not so stiff,
• less stress on my knee joints too,
• my runner’s high,
• solitude so I can talk to God, contemplate life and listen to good music all in a beautiful setting,
• better health, weight management,
• an outlet for stress and improvement of my outlook on life while building strength and self-confidence,
• and a smile on my face.
So truck on Nordic Walkers. contemplate life…. and have fun doing it.
