[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 601274, member: 11028"] Had no idea what Nordic Walking was so just had a look on Wiki, it says: "Compared to regular walking, Nordic walking (also called pole walking) involves applying force to the poles with each stride. Nordic walkers use more of their entire body (with greater intensity) and receive fitness building stimulation not present in normal walking for the chest, lats, triceps, biceps, shoulder, abdominals, spinal and other core muscles that may result in significant increases in heart rate at a given pace.[URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_walking#cite_note-5'][5][/URL] Nordic walking has been estimated as producing up to a 46% increase in energy consumption, compared to walking without poles." I've seen people walking with poles and often wondered why they were walking with them so many miles from the hills and mountains, all looks good and do see how it would benefit the upper body.
