Nordic Walking in Pomorskie: an adventure with outdoor activities

If you are a resident or a guest visiting the Pomorskie Voivodeship, you have a lot to gain! This form of activity may become your new passion and way of spending your free time. Here are some reasons why it is worth starting your Nordic Walking adventure here.

Nordic Walking - what is it?

Nordic Walking is a type of physical activity that originated in Finland. It is based on walking using special poles that engage not only the legs, but also the upper part of the body. This makes the training more comprehensive and effective than ordinary walking. It’s a great way to improve your fitness, burn calories and strengthen your muscles, and it doesn’t take much time to learn the technique.

How to start your adventure with Nordic Walking?

• Get the right pair of poles: Buy Nordic Walking poles from a sports store. Remember to choose the right length of poles for your height.
• Prepare appropriately: Wear comfortable, breathable clothing and appropriate walking shoes. Also take care of your headgear and a container of water.
• Beginnings can be gentle: If you’re a beginner, don’t push yourself into intense training right away. Start with shorter distances and gradually increase the intensity.
• Remember about technique: Correct technique is crucial in Nordic Walking. Make sure that the poles and steps are synchronized. You can use the instructor’s advice to master the correct technique from the very beginning (see above a short instruction from the Polish Nordic Walking Association).
• Have fun: Nordic Walking is not only training, it is also the pleasure of exercise in the fresh air. Enjoy every step you take and the views you discover.
