Walking Poles Equal Success At Girls On the Run Event!

Not every one is into running. However, ALL of us can get more out of walking! Over one million Germans are Nordic Walking (Ski Walking) every day and the stats indicate that over five million in Germany alone will be walking with poles in less than five years!

Walking with special fitness poles burns 20-40% more calories than regular walking.

My company specializes in fitting the correct length poles for each individual. All I need to know is how tall someone is and I can select the perfect length poles.

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.

Because the poles are gentle on your shins, knees, hips and back the Ski Walker can successfully walk longer, faster and burn more calories. Even folks with balance issues find the poles a huge improvement over canes and walkers. I have hosted 100’s of Ski Walking Clinics all over the USA and I love hosting clinics for MS and Parkenson’s Support Groups.

My poles also come with patented comfortable straps (kinda like a fingerless glove) + durable carbide tips for trail, beach, snow & ice + removable rubber tips.

Don’t get scammed by poles that claim to be Nordic Walking Poles, but don’t have real Nordic Walking straps!

Also, don’t get scammed by cheap adjustable poles. True Nordic Walking Poles are durable, one-piece design and user friendly. Adjustable/telescoping poles are heavier, less safe, make clunking noises (from twist-lock systems) and often don’t hold their position and slip/shrink.

Nordic Walking can be done on the track:

Nordic Walk The Beach:

Nordic Walk your favorite trail:

Nordic Walk in the park:

Nordic Walk in the winter:

Nordic Walk your dog:

Nordic Walk the fields:

Nordic Walk during Color Season:

Nordic Walk in the mall, around the block or even down the hall. Just get out and walk! Walk more and have FUN!

Have FUN Nordic Walking,

Pete Edwards - owner/founder/coach
