Nordic Walking or Ski Walking is a form of walking using modified ski poles. It evolved from an off season ski-training activity known as ski-striding to become a way of exercising year round. Nordic walking was first promoted as a year round exercise form in the US,
but it was first widely popularized in Finland (where it is known as sauvakävely, "pole walking") by cross country skiers, who are considered the most fit athletes in the world, as part of their summer training. Nordic walking combines the positive training effects of running or walking combined with the total body exercise advantages of cross-country skiing. The result is a total body workout that burns up to fifty percent more calories without walking faster or longer. It creates less pressure on the back and lower joints thus benefitting those who may suffer from a damaged knee, hip or back.
