Is anyone here familiar with Nordic Walking? I am an ...

acquaintance of a certified instructor, if you have questions.

A great way to get into shape. Stamina conditioning, as well as upper body training at your own tempo.

2. Very good question. Its is basically walking with sticks ...

this brings upper body in play while walking in a prescribed manner and tempo.

This "started" in Finland and is quickly spreading throughout the rest of Europe.

Try going to http://nordicwalking.de a site in German.

I'm thinking about asking the people who run this site if I may translate it into English.

Once again, good question.
