Nordic walking

We've started doing nordic walking with my husband. Nordic walking is basically walking with poles. It's very popular here in Finland and it has spread from here very widely in the world. I like it very much while it's more effective than just walking, it's easy and a very simple way to improve your physics. And of course it's a good way to spend time with a hubby! Our walks last at least an hour and in that time we can talk together many things.

Nordic walking was developed into a fitness exercise with specific training equipment in co-operation with the Finnish sports equipment manufacturer Exel Oyj. Actually nordic walking poles has made it possible for the exel oyj to keep their factories open here in Finland. So if you decide to go for nordic walking choose poles from exel - the original walking pole maker from Finland! Exel has an office in 28 countries and well equiped sport stores should sell exel poles.
