Nordic Walking - Join me !!

| Nordic Walking was originally developed as a summer training alternative for cross country skiing. Finish athletes just chopped off some poles a little shorter and took it into the mountains. This alternative quickly developed into the fastest growing fitness activity in Europe. Now we use specially designed poles which are extremely comfortable. Basically the poles enhance walking by engaging upper body muscles like arms, chest and back in similar movement like in telemark cross country skiing. Because of the poles overall joint impacts are reduced to a minimum, making this the perfect workout for anyone with problems in knees, back, hips, neck or other major joints. But most important is the amazing effect on the cardiovascular system. The heart rate is up to 45% higher then regular walking and same is true for the caloric expenditure. Basically it is as efficient as jogging or running without the heavy impact, huffing and puffing.. Ask yourself how many times have you tried running and really didn't enjoy it. Finally we got an amazing solution and already thousands of people Nordic Walk in the US. Join us and try it out ! |

| Learn the proper technique ! How to get started ? |
Nordic Walking is a technical sport, just like skiing.
Therefore it is crucial to learn how to do it the right way !
In 30-60 minutes most participants learn the basic
elements. Enough to get most of the benefits.
After learning the basic techniques it becomes more
fun by the day. Learn from Axel how to utilize uphill and
downhill techniques to maximize leg strength,
cardiovascular stamina and of course upper body
strength.
Many of my clients are so enthusiastic that they walk
almost every day. To vary the training we Nordic Walk
on beaches, grassy or dirt trails, steep rocky terrain
and of course on our neighbourhood sidewalks and
roads.
Over time the body becomes more efficient and core
muscles like the lateral abdominals show incredible
strength gain. ALL THAT with just walking.
The best of all is that nobody races away from each
other. This activity creates intensity by using the poles
not by speed !
Seniors and teens, big people, small people,
beginners as well as advanced walkers and of course
whole families walk with each other creating the strong
bond all of my participants enjoy so much.
Me and my team offer classes in Connecticut and
Rhode Island on a weekly basis. Go to EVENTS to find
out when and where you can get started.
If you have a group of three or more people we will
teach you at a destination of your choice !
Call or email me get more information.

and SPA's, Park and Rec departments, we are flexible,
efficient and professional.
