Rather, specific technique is required. Gruninger points out, “With Nordic pole walking, the poles have to be adjusted so that when you put the pole on the ground, you want your elbow right at your waist and your wrist will be slightly lower than that. If you’re doing it correctly, your shoulders are actually slightly rotating side-to-side, which engages the outer obliques in the core.”
In addition to facilitating an ab-
dominal workout, results include an overall toning effect on the entire body. Gruninger notes that pole walking provides an acceptable, low-impact cardiovascular routine for people re- covering from injury, as well. Whatever the season or reason, there is a pole designed to help sports- ters remain upright. Adventure, excite- ment and athletics are all on tap as we take care to use this versatile extra appendage gently and wisely.
