NORDIC POLE WALKING IS A LOW-IMPACT OUTDOOR EXERCISE THAT CAN BURN 40% MORE CALORIES OVER JUST WALKING & CAN BE PERFORMED BY ANYONE ON SOFT OR HARD SURFACES.
It is a huge outdoor sport in Europe & the US as well. It was originally created as summer training for cross-country skiers in Finland.
JOIN OUR NORDIC POLEWALKS (also called POLE WALKING or NORDIC WALKING) ON THE BEACH IN NAPLES, SOUTH-WEST FLORIDA.
