WITHOUT much more exertion than regular walking…..would you be willing to investigate a little of your time to discover what this is?
” I love introducing Nordic walking to people because it is so enjoyable to be exercising outdoors, almost anyone can do it and have mastered the basics within an hour, no base fitness level is needed to begin and people seem to experience benefits soon after starting. Being a FITTREK Master Trainer, I can teach the technique that is most suitable for your level, being mindful of your limitations and health concerns. ” A wise teacher makes learning a joy “, I once heard; I try to make my classes fun and enjoyable for all participants and meeting so many wonderful people has certainly enriched my life. ” (author,Lori Clinch)
Individuals with the following health conditions have been able to Nordic Walk:
-Osteoarthritis and wanting to keep active yet relieve some of the pain/discomfort off joints
-Requiring a cane/walker to walk and wanting to become more mobile to increase independence
-Difficulty with balance and coordination and desiring to increase stability
-Knee/hip surgery and wanting to recover quickly or wanting to prolong surgery as long as possible
-Weight gain ,wanting to lose it but not wanting to go to the gym
-Diabetes: Doctor has recommended exercise. They like to walk but want to diversify it or experience poor circulation &/or have lost some sensation in feet and need the support of the poles
-Parkinson’s disease, uses assisted walking devices, desires more independence
-Osteoporosis-needs a weight bearing activity to build bone density
-Computer/desk work; carry stress in neck and shoulders, poor posture
-Sedentary lifestyle at home -wishes to begin an easy, low impact but effective exercise
-Runners who have been injured and want to keep fit and active
-Cross-country skiers who want to be in physical condition for ski season
-Regular walkers who want diversity and variety in their regimen
-Power walkers who want to engage more core and upper body muscles
-Outdoor enthusiasts who want to cross-train and add diversity
Using the specially designed walking poles with proper technique with upper body muscles and arm movements, the user receives a similar workout to cross-country skiing with all the health and fitness benefits but without the intensity, cold and snow.
Medical Professionals as well as Fitness Trainers are endorsing this activity for their clients/patients. Dr. Natasha Kipot, Chiropractor and Dr. Kellie Ferguson, Naturopathic Physician, both of Royal Oak Chiropractic in Victoria, BC are endorsing Nordic Walking in their perspective practices as well as contributing their expertise in wellness, health, prevention and recovery at Nordic Walking demonstrations and workshops with the author.
The Doctors say, ” This is a great low impact exercise that will help with osteoarthritis, rehabilitation and injury prevention for starters “. Dr. Natasha Kipot sees great results with Nordic Walking’s ability to increase the body’s core stability which coincides with they type of body work she is already providing.
“Physical problems and/or pain are the everyday hurdles that I’m always trying to overcome with patients and finding an alternative exercise that can be utilized in different aspects provides those outlets!” Dr. Natasha Kipot DC
