Nordic walking
NORDIC WALKING FESTIVAL 'STEP TOWARDS HEALTH'
The project 'Step towards health' has been imagined as the symbiosis of a healthy lifestyle and an introduction to the rich history and beautiful landscape that Malinska has to offer. The program design ensures that all the routes are in attractive locations with important historical significance. From a sports recreation point of view, the routes will be adapted to suit varied participant ages and psychophysical abilities.
One of the fastest-growing activities of this type in the world, Nordic walking is a form of physical activity in which regular, natural walking is enhanced by the active use of a pair of specially designed Nordic Walking poles. Correct use of the poles actively engages the upper body in the act of walking. It provides a very effective easy, aerobic way to improve fitness, which is suitable for all, irrespective of age, gender or physical condition. Nordic walking can be up to 40% more efficient than ordinary walking, depending on its intensity, and it is very suitable for rehabilitation.
