Why use poles when walking?

The poles in Nordic walking are not just for show; they are crucial for engaging over 80% of your muscles, including those in your arms, shoulders, chest, and back. They also provide stability, which is particularly helpful for balance and reducing strain on lower body joints, making it suitable for a wide range of fitness levels.
