Nordic Walking Returns To Eagle Ridge Senior Health Fair

April 17, 2012

Nordic Walking with real Nordic Walking Poles

Nordic Walking will be one of the many activities and services available during the Annual Health Fair at Eagle Ride Retirement Community on Wednesday, April 18 in Traverse City, Michigan.

Nordic Walking Poles from WWW.SKIWALKING.COM and the American Nordic Walking System will be available to use during lessons and for test drive demo. These quality poles are sized to each individual’s height and are a sturdy one-piece design – no twist-locks or flip-locks that tend to rattle, vibrate, gradually collapse or unexpectedly fail. These one-piece poles from SWIX and EXEL prove to be safer, lighter and much more user-friendly than cheap/flimsy 2-piece and 3-piece collapsible poles from China.

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.

Nordic Walking’s winning combination of improved posture, a unique 4-Wheel-Drive type action and shock absorbing benefits – helping many individuals to walk comfortably again. Nordic Walking Poles are helping individuals 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, scoliosis, lumbar stenosis, fibromyalgia, post polio, osteoporosis, stroke recovery, cancer 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 effectively launch much needed walking campaigns.
