Three tips for Nordic walking
- 01
Taking big steps
To get some practice in Nordic walking, it is important to take conscious and extra large steps. This way you activate more muscles in your legs and buttocks. And there is more time to train the muscles with a larger arm swing.

This is how it works with the stick
Nordic walking poles are attached to the wrist, professionals recommend. The hand grips the pole tightly when moving forward. When moving backwards, you let go briefly and then pull it forwards again.

Important for all beginners: The correct pole length plays a big role. It is tailored to the formula. The common rule of thumb: 0.68 to 0.7 times your body height.
