Nordic Walking Poles Successful In Improving Balance and Stability

 

Real Nordic Walking Poles provide 4-wheel drive type balance and stability - radically improving balance and stability!

 

Nordic Walking Poles have proven successful and numerous MS, Parkinson's and Diabetes Support Group Meetings where I provided free demo poles and free instruction. Even individuals with severe Neuropathy found that the poles helped to improve posture, balance, stability and control.

 

Perfect length poles help us to automatically walk with a super straight back - 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.

 

Nordic Walking Poles can help to burn up to 40% more calories than regular walking too!

 

Over 8 million Europeans are walking with poles in the cities, out in the country and up in the mountains.

 

Nordic Walking Poles are no longer just for skiers deprived of snow during the summer.

 

Poles from the American Nordic Walking System and WWW.SKIWALKING.COM are being successfully used at Fitness Centers, in Cardiac Rehab, for physical therapy, by sports teams, Weight Watchers Groups and by Wounded Warriors (donated to soldiers at both Walter Reed and Fort Carson).

 

Don't get scammed by cheap twist-locking or flip-locking poles that can collapse unexpectedly. One-piece poles that are sized correctly are safer, lighter and much more durable than cheap twist-locking or flip-locking adjustable length/telescoping/collapsible poles. Skiers don't use twist-locking/collapsible poles because one-piece poles that are sized correctly are lighter and much more durable.

 

Walking with poles is the best!
