Did you see a mysterious ski-less cross-country skier on your way to work this morning?
Don’t be fooled, this person knew exactly what they were doing. Urban Poling – also called Nordic Walking – is a hot fitness trend spreading throughout Canada.
For years, health care professionals have stressed the benefits of walking for personal fitness and well-being. Urban poling takes walking to the next level. Poling with specially designed urban poles provides a surprisingly impressive workout, engaging 90% of the body’s muscles, burning 46% more calories than regular walking while reducing stress on hips and knees.
The growing trend of urban poling can be seen throughout the London area, and its popularity is attributed to the incredible workout it provides. You develop your own rhythm or groove, and as you become confident you can work as hard as you would like to.
People of all ages and fitness levels benefit from this fun and social form of exercise.
