[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 533840, member: 14557"] SFR, when looking for nordic walking don't get spooked by all those older people plodding on dragging the poles with them you see in some videos. While nordic walking is excellent exercise for people in different age groups and with different fitness levels and especially for people who have back and neck stiffness etc, the endorphins you get out of it appear only when done with some stamina. But it is used by many very serious and high level endurance sport athletes as their recovery workout instead of jogging because it is easier to the joints and gives the same level of exercise as slower running does for them (of course the speed they do walk is about the same as some joggers jog...) You can find many introduction videos from Youtube. I live in the climate there running outside is not so fun around the year and I find running in the gym boring. So at the winter I do a lot of cross-country skiing and run less and those few weeks in fall and spring when neither running or cross-country skiing really works out, I either bore myself in the running mill at the gym or with deep water running. Both just as boring to me. But I do know many like both of those as well. [/QUOTE]
