Hello there I walked nordic walking 20 years before I walked barefoot since 5 years. Now I walk both together. Nordic walking corrected my body position. I walk now with straight back. Great from Albania🍀🏔🦶
Thank you both for this video. As a jogger and a rope-jumper for 40+ years, I was looking for something different and read an article on nordic-walking. I purchased an inexpensive set of poles which, despite their price, appear of great quality...solid, adjustable length, wrist straps, handle-grips and extra rubber tips for mud. I must admit that walking with them feels strangely awkward at first! Thanks again,
Excellent video thank you very much. I have Parkinson’s and I’ve been prescribed to do Nordic pole walking. I’ve been looking at videos for over six months and this is the best one to explain in detail what I need to be doing and what I shouldn’t be doing. Again, thanks this is greatly added to my quality of life
This was helpful. I was placing my poles very far forward like I was nordic skiing (leaning forward a bit) but I see I need to stand up straight a lot more when walking.
I'm a Kiwi living in Thailand. I'm experimenting with bamboo. Its light and strong and basically inexpensive. I can cut it to suit my requirements. The locals are a bit gob smacked and surprised and my Thai wife prefers there is not dragging of poles along the road so all I need is a few rubber stoppers and that should be fixed.
Mike you won’t get a true Nordic experience without the straps of a quality product. Excel poles were designed for Olympic athletes. Fixed poles are superior than these extension poles since they are custom measured to your body height and elbow height parallel at a 90 degree from ground kinda like you carrying a tray. But any exercise is better than lying on your bamboo couch. Nordic is far better using 90% of your core muscles compared to 40% of normal walking.
On a 45m walk i used poles. Good help up hill, on flat ground, helps keep up pace. Hard on the hands between thumb and index finger. Saves approx 2-5% (imo) energy and you arrive less tired. Eventually I abandoned the poles because of the pain in the hands.
Don’t grip the handles too tightly, just lightly hold the pole with your thumb and forefinger. The straps around your wrists will keep the poles in place.
I'm having issues with the wrist straps on the Nordixx Walker. I removed the straps to wash them bc they got really sweaty but I can't figure out how to put them back together. You showed how to work with the traveler and adjust the wrist strap, removing it and replacing it, but didn't touch on the former. I really need some help and can't find any online anywhere. Are there any directions for working with the straps on the Walker poles? I notice theres a little loop coming out the top and since taking them apart, I can't get them back in place and adjustable. Any help would be appreciated.
I notice the woman HOLDing onto her poles as she walked up to the camera in the very beginning. I just saw another "how to" video that said DO NOT have a grasp on the poles. I'm sure when I watch 5 I'll see 5 different contradictions. :-(
The little yellow strap clip doesn't really 'click' safely into the hole, thereby the wrist strap comes right out (sometimes when you don't want it to. Just held in the socket by a hair width clip. You must have good gripping hands to loosen andor re-snuggen the poles after adjustment..impossible if hands a bit sweaty....should have used a clip mechanism.
no no no.....thats not how you want to walk.....you look like a robot with a stick in its back side.....you wanna walk like your strutting to a song that only you can hear.....walk with style...not like a rectally incumbered robot.

Brilliant explanations on how to walk with the Nordic poles, thank you.

This revolutionised my walking and breathing technique. Before that I didn't know what I was doing at all. Thank you so much
As another person said, too much shade to catch difference in instructions from one numbered explanation to next.

Thank you for this tutorial. I am just away to begin Nordic walking for my arthritis and pain issues and needed instruction!
Just what I am looking for
Great video.

I just had vein surgery (leg) and this has saved my life.I have been doing this for years and love it.

Lm 92 and this has been a great way for me to stay active
Thanks. I'm 83 & recently have very stiff left hip & knee. Has taken enjoyment out of my favorite exercise - walking. If you can do it, I will too.

Exactly! I think I just have to try walk using all of the techniques I saw and choose which one feels natural to me...
The river in the background was very scenic, but the shadows on the trail made it difficult to see
Wonderful beautiful scenery. But such a shame as you couldn't clearly see the poles when walking was demonstrated.

Its basically walking with sticks if you do it you will healthier .you dont need expensive kit and join franchises.
Not at all, it is a lot more than just walking with sticks. Join a group and see for yourself.
no no no.....thats not how you want to walk.....you look like a robot with a stick in its back side.....you wanna walk like your strutting to a song that only you can hear.....walk with style...not like a rectally incumbered robot.
If your wife had Sarah’s fine figure hell who cares how she walks.
Can you please post a link to your video = walking correctly? Thank you
