Nordic Walking has been enjoyed by Europeans since the 1930s and was introduced to the USA in 2003 by the LEKI company. The poles are similar to those used in cross-country skiing. The result is a total body workout which is both effective and fun. In Florida, we call it "enhanced fitness walking."

The benefits associated with Nordic Walking are rewarding no matter what your age, gender or size. You'll notice measurable differences in your strength, weight and posture.

Burn up to 40% more calories during your walk.
Increase oxygen consumption up to 25%.
Reduce stress to your knees and lower joints.
Reduce heel strike by 26%
Strengthen your upper body and create resistance to build better bone density.
Increase cardiovascular workout.

Choose from three styles of Nordic Walking poles in Carbon, Aluminum and a Carbon/Aluminum combo:

-with a 10cm range of adjustment
-with a wide adjustment range in two or three sections
-fixed length

There seems to be a bit of confusion about adjustable length vs. fixed length poles. LEKI sells both adjustable AND fixed length poles because everybody likes to walk their own walk. The locking system on the adjustable poles is the same quality locking system found on their Trekking poles, used by world-acclaimed alpinists and mountain climbers.

Are you a beginner? Then you will probably want to go with fully adjustable poles. Until you develop your technique, you may not be certain what size is absolutely best for you.

Also available are LEKI Rubber Tips that attach to the bottom of your Nordic Walking poles. They are angled to allow you to push off during your stride which increases your upper body workout. They are also preferred on trails as they are a bit less noisy.
