The free Nordic Walking Classes and free Nordic Walking Pole Demos will be provided by Pete Edwards – owner/founder/coach of SkiWalking.com and the American Nordic Walking System. Walking with poles provides a more effective workout than regular walking – basically turbo charging the average walking campaign.

Nordic Walking is no longer just for athletes and expert skiers deprived of snow during the summer. All ages and all fitness levels can now unlock the calorie burning and aerobic benefits of Nordic Walking Poles. Athletes, seniors and even individuals with balance issues, joint issues and other challenges are finding success with real Nordic Walking poles. Nordic Walking’s winning combination of improved posture, unique 4-Wheel-Drive type action and the shock absorbing benefits of the poles help many individuals to walk comfortably again – even those with balance issues, knee issues or new knees, hip issues or new hips, back issues (including those with rods in their back), weight issues, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s (PD), neuropathy, arthritis, bursitis, diabetes, scoliosis, lumbar stenosis, fibromyalgia, post polio, osteoporosis, stroke recovery and other limitations to walking. Nordic Walking poles are helping thousands of Americans get off the couch, successfully get outside, start walking safely and walking effectively.
The improved balance, stability and gait that the correct length one-piece Nordic Walking Poles provide often sounds like magic, but it is just good physics and improved biomechanics. The key is using “perfect length” poles. Perfect length poles help us to automatically walk with a super straight back – better walking posture is biomechanically a good thing. This improved walking posture when combined with the unique 4-Wheel-Drive type action of walking with poles radically reduces the stress to the shins, knees, hips and back. Nordic Walking is low impact and yet provides a highly effective workout – burning more calories and working more muscle groups than regular walking. Seniors and inviduals with balance issues are advised to use one-piece poles and avoid cheap/flimsy 2-piece and 3-piece twist-lock and flip-lock poles that tend to rattle, vibrate, freeze-up and/or collapse unexpectedly.
According to Nick Mahood, SWIX USA Nordic Walking Director, “Pete Edwards, owner/founder/coach of http://www.SkiWalking.com and the American Nordic Walking System, has single handedly introduced thousands of Americans to Nordic Walking through his free clinics. I have no doubt that Edwards is the #1 retailer of Nordic Walking Poles in the USA. You can quote me on that!”
