Adventure Nordic Walking
Nordic Walking began as a summer training exercise for serious "cross country" skiers. Fitness walkers in Europe adopted Nordic Walking as a time-efficient, low-stress, total body workout. Nordic Walking is growing with walking clubs and certified instructors leading classes across North America.
