Nordic Walking Exercises
Warming up and stretching are essential components of any exercise or training program. After returning from Nordic Walking, we recommend these exercises which involve all the main muscle groups. These are the typical exercises done as part of your workout or warm-up sessions, but this time, you will use your pair of Nordic Walking Poles. Hold each position for a few seconds, and then slowly return to the original position. Repeat each exercise three times.
