Good day, my dear readers. I continue the topic of a healthy lifestyle. I want to share with you my personal experience of Nordic walking. Have you heard of this? This is a very effective type of sports activity. Useful not only for weight loss, but let's talk about everything in order. So, Nordic walking with poles for weight loss, reviews from “pedestrians”.
What kind of walking is this, what are its benefits?
First, a little historical excursion. I think you will be interested in “where do legs grow from?” This walking came to us from the distant Scandinavian Peninsula. The founders are considered to be Finns. Therefore, it is also often called Finnish walking. You can also hear Norwegian walking.
It was Finnish skiers who were the first to use poles. They were very afraid of losing shape over the summer. The benefits were obvious; those who trained in the summer showed better results in the winter.
Researchers became interested in this phenomenon. More than 30 years ago, the beneficial effects of such training on the body were proven. Thanks to these studies, walking was first recognized in the Scandinavian countries. Then the whole world became interested in it.
Who will it benefit most? My answer is everyone.
Today, more than 30 million people around the world practice this type of fitness. And it doesn’t matter what your physical fitness or age is.
For this workout:
- the back muscles are strengthened (which is important for osteochondrosis);
- promotes weight loss;
- brain and heart activity is stimulated;
- joints are perfectly trained;
- has a great effect on normalizing sleep.
Norwegian walking affects the muscles more evenly and comprehensively. Thanks to the sticks, the load on the spine and joints is reduced. It is economical because you do not need expensive exercise equipment for training. It is enough to buy a special accessory – sticks. They have different prices and are available to everyone.

Benefits of Nordic walking
Nordic walking is beneficial in many ways. Its positive features should be highlighted as follows:
- During the training process, almost all muscle groups are involved , since both the upper and lower torso are involved in the movement. If you want to burn more calories, you should actively push off with poles and transfer the weight to your hands.
- If you practice regularly, the results will be noticeable after just a few months . You can tighten your body, get rid of excess weight, improve the functioning of your heart and intestines. Also, research has revealed that the lung volume of those who exercise regularly increases by about a third.
- Outdoor exercises allow you to train endurance and willpower .
- Nordic walking has a beneficial effect on the muscles of the back and upper shoulder girdle. It improves posture and maintains spinal health.
- Exercise strengthens bones and increases bone density. This is a wonderful prevention of osteoporosis.
- Often, Nordic walking is chosen by those who, for one reason or another, are prohibited from intense aerobic and strength exercise. Walking in this case allows you to maintain an active lifestyle , despite existing contraindications. It also helps restore the body after serious injuries and various diseases.

- Exercise normalizes metabolism and helps reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.
What muscles are involved + calorie expenditure
The main difference between Finnish walking and other types is the use of sticks. Due to the fact that a person is pushed off by them, he receives a load on the upper shoulder girdle. Simple running uses only the lower body. It is thanks to poles that Nordic walking allows you to use 90% of your muscles. Cool isn't it? You don't need to use multiple machines to achieve this result. Take two sticks and go
