Nordic Walking Exercises - Step Squat
As with all other sports or outdoor activities, it is imperative to stretch those muscles to prepare them for the actual activity. Involve all muscle groups so you can do the activity for a longer time, without feeling tired or uncomfortable. Take note, though, that stretching too much is not good for you. Do the stretching exercises slowly and make sure to stay within your limits.
