5 health benefits of Nordic walking

Great for heart health

Nordic walking uses your upper body muscles and gets your heart rate up. According to studies, it can improve exercise capacity, exercise duration, and oxygen uptake.

Helps in weight loss

Nordic walking uses the upper-body muscles more which requires greater energy expenditure. It involves your chest, arms, shoulders, abs, core muscles as well as legs.

Improves your blood circulation

Nordic walking helps increase the rate at which your blood is pumped around the body which boosts your circulation. It also strengthens your core muscles.

Reduces the risk of falling

The technique of Nordic walking involves placing the poles onto the ground while you are using your legs which helps improve balance and reduces the risk of falling.

Reduces back, hip, and knee pain

Using poles while walking distributes your weight through the torso and arms, placing less strain on the hips, knees, and back which reduces hip, knee, or back pain.
