How does Nordic walking work?
Nordic walking uses special poles to engage your upper body and core, turning a simple walk into a full body workout. This means more muscles are working, leading to increased calorie burn and improved cardiovascular fitness compared to regular walking. The poles also help distribute your weight, easing pressure on joints like knees and hips.
