Scandinavia gave us Santa Claus and Nordic Walking Poles!
During the off season Santa Claus straps on his Nordic Walking Poles just like millions of other Scandinavians. Skiers in Scandinavia know that hill bounding, ski walking and roller skiing, when deprived of snow, are great way to prepare and stay shape for the next ski season. The rest of the Nordic Walking population is Nordic Walking for the same wonderful health and fitness benefits.
The benefits of Nordic Walking are many and if improving health and fitness in 2010 is one of your New Year Resolutions, then Nordic Walking may be the perfect way to get more bang for your fitness buck.
Walking with poles burns up to 40% more calories than regular walking - turbo charging the normal walking campaign. Nordic Walking helps to improve cardiac health, improve aerobic fitness, increase oxygen consumption and at the same time the Perfect length poles help us to automatically walk with a super straight back. And better walking posture is biomechanically a good thing. This improved walking posture when combined with the unique 4-Wheel-Drive type action of walking with poles radically reduces the stress to the shins, knees, hips and back. Nordic Walking is low impact and yet provides a highly effective workout - burning more calories and working more muscle groups than regular walking. Sturdy and user-friendly one-piece Nordic Walking Poles are also helping individuals balance issues to walk taller, with more stability and with more confidence.
If looking for quality Nordic Walking Poles for someone on your Christmas list be sure to check out the SWIX VIP Nordic Walking Poles from Norway. ALL sizes are in stock and ready to ship (free Nordic Walking DVD included). Plus Nordic Walking Instructions from WWW.SKIWALKING.COM and The American Nordic Walking System are emailed to all customers.
After hosting hundreds of Nordic Walking Lessons and strapping my special SWIX and EXEL Nordic Walking Poles onto thousands of Americans I have seen first hand that individuals of ALL ages and ALL fitness levels can benefit from Nordic Walking with the Perfect Length Poles one piece poles.
Everyday I hear success stories from happy customers that are almost to good to be true. I observe some of these remarkable successes during my Nordic Walking classes or I read about them in emails and from thank you cards. Many of these happy customers refer to their new ability to walk more comfortably as a miracle, but in reality it is just good physics. It is exceptionally rewarding when these individuals or their family members refer to my Nordic Walking Poles as miracle poles.
These durable and user-friendly one-piece Nordic Walking Poles are helping individuals with balance issues, knee issues or new knees, hip issues or new hips, back issues (including those with rods in their back), weight issues, multiple sclerosis (MS), parkinson's (PD), neuropathy, arthritis, bursitis, scoliosis, lumbar stenosis, fibromyalgia, post polio, osteoporosis, stroke recovery, cancer recovery and other limitations to walking. We also donate poles to the Wounded Warrior Program. Our one-piece Nordic Walking poles are safer, lighter and much more durable than cheap twist-lock and flip-lock adjustable length/telescoping/collapsible poles and are helping thousands of Americans get off the couch, successfully get outside, start walking safely and effectively launch much needed walking campaigns.
Santa Claus may not be the real deal, but the benefits of Nordic Walking Poles certainly are.
