This book, with over 250 photos, offers a detailed, comprehensive and inspiring presentation of the Modern Nordic Walking concept, which combines natural posture and fluid walking technique with the correct use of poles. The result is a holistic movement that regenerates the body, reinforces the functional myofascial connections that support the movement in an upright position and trains the basic human movement we need in everyday life: walking. All this makes Modern Nordic Walking a healthy and effective form of physical exercise suitable for all.
The book presents, first of all, the principles and goals of Modern Nordic Walking, its characteristics and benefits. There is a complete phase-by-phase movement analysis of the technique – the real jewel of the book!
After having learned how to choose the necessary equipment the reader can continue to the chapter ”From theory to practise” and get instructions on how to get started and how then apply the technique in various conditions and environments, and how to vary speed and intensity. Instructions are given also on how to plan both individual walks and long term training programs.
Lastly, the book offers a broad overview on how Modern Nordic Walking can meet the needs of different age groups from children to older adults and how it can be a suitable way to exercise in various situations and stages of life.
