NORDIC WALKING – Walk for Your Health!

Nordic walking is one of the most popular sports nowadays, providing a gentle yet effective way to improve strength and endurance.

Originally developed as a summer training program for cross-country skiers, Nordic walking has since become an independent sport. Unlike traditional walking, Nordic walking engages 80-90 percent of the muscles. The special poles used in walking relieve some of the load from the legs while also exerting pressure on the upper body, engaging the arms and back muscles. Additionally, the poles improve stability and balance. Nordic walking is not only a great social activity but also an excellent method for losing extra weight, maintaining heart and vascular health, and managing depression and anxiety.

Test your endurance and discover the beauty of nature!

Nordic Walking is the perfect tool for this. With the help of special poles and walking techniques, endurance, muscle strength, balance, and coordination can be effectively improved. This comprehensive form of exercise combines the benefits of walking or running with those of cross-country skiing. By using the poles, we can take longer and larger strides, adding dynamism to our walking. Depending on the intensity we dictate, our workout can promote fat burning or increase our fitness level.

Arguments for Nordic Walking:

• Strengthens muscles, relieves muscle tension
• Improves endurance, reduces joint stress
• Increases oxygen supply, stimulates blood circulation

And last but not least, we can enjoy sports in the wonderful environment of the richly endowed forests of Zala! Exercising in nature has an excellent effect on all our senses, making us more balanced.

Nordic Walking poles are available for rent at the Zalakaros Tourinform office!
