Excellent video thank you very much. I have Parkinson’s and I’ve been prescribed to do Nordic pole walking. I’ve been looking at videos for over six months and this is the best one to explain in detail what I need to be doing and what I shouldn’t be doing. Again, thanks this is greatly added to my quality of life

Hello there I walked nordic walking 20 years before I walked barefoot since 5 years. Now I walk both together. Nordic walking corrected my body position. I walk now with straight back. Great from Albania🍀🏔🦶

Brilliant explanations on how to walk with the Nordic poles, thank you.

Thank you both for this video. As a jogger and a rope-jumper for 40+ years, I was looking for something different
and read an article on nordic-walking.
I purchased an inexpensive set of poles which, despite their price, appear of great quality...solid,
adjustable length, wrist straps, handle-grips and extra rubber tips for mud.
I must admit that walking with them feels strangely awkward at first!
Thanks again,

This revolutionised my walking and breathing technique. Before that I didn't know what I was doing at all. Thank you so much

Thank you for this tutorial. I am just away to begin Nordic walking for my arthritis and pain issues and needed instruction!

Lm 92 and this has been a great way for me to stay active

This was helpful. I was placing my poles very far forward like I was nordic skiing (leaning forward a bit) but I see I need to stand up straight a lot more when walking.

Just what I am looking for

On a 45m walk i used poles.
Good help up hill, on flat ground, helps keep up pace.
Hard on the hands between thumb and index finger.
Saves approx 2-5% (imo) energy and you arrive less tired.

Eventually I abandoned the poles because of the pain in the hands.

The river in the background was very scenic, but the shadows on the trail made it difficult to see

I'm a Kiwi living in Thailand. I'm experimenting with bamboo. Its light and strong and basically inexpensive. I can cut it to suit my requirements. The locals are a bit gob smacked and surprised and my Thai wife prefers there is not dragging of poles along the road so all I need is a few rubber stoppers and that should be fixed.

Wonderful beautiful scenery. But such a shame as you couldn't clearly see the poles when walking was demonstrated.

I notice the woman HOLDing onto her poles as she walked up to the camera in the very beginning. I just saw another "how to" video that said DO NOT have a grasp on the poles. I'm sure when I watch 5 I'll see 5 different contradictions. :-(
