You can begin your walking program on a Monday. If you really want to
improve your health then also change your eating and sleeping habits
too. By eating right and getting a good nights rest every night you
will see dramatic improvements in not only your health but also your
overall feeling. You can accomplish so much more if you are
maintaining a healthy lifestyle while taking on a life changing and
possibly life saving walking program.
Walking the weight off may be just what
the doctor ordered, but please be sure and ask your doctor before you
start this or any exercise program. Remember to stay hydrated and do
over do it if you are just starting out.
Although initially this fitness machine did
not spread so quickly with it first being promoted in 1980 until the
first official Nordic Walker ski poles were introduced to the public
in 1997 it has soon become the fastest growing recreational fitness
work out in the world. Nordic trac has taken a step towards ordinary
fitness walking or running to a new level enabling the body to burn up
to fifty percent more calories without having to walk faster or
longer.
Nordic walking includes several other
benefits, Heart rate is about thirteen percent or five to seven beats
higher than regular walking. Poles help traction on slippery surfaces,
thus becoming a safety factor. Burns about 400 calories per hour,
beating regular walking which only burns about 280 calories.
This will increased overall endurance and
less stress applied on your back and lower joints. Lateral mobility of
neck and spine is increased significantly, thus releasing muscle
tension in these specific regions
Nordic walking is great for most age
groups. There is an organization on this sport called International
Nordic Walking Association which aims to unite all Nordic walkers out
there.
You need to put your overall health and well
being first. Make sure you start slow. It is also a good idea to start
with two ten minute brisk walks before plummeting into a full twenty
minute power walk.
Unless you are extremely overweight and
or have health problems, you should be able to start your walking
program with the two daily exercise sessions and do these five days a
week. I highly recommend you take a couple days off a week so you do
not get burnt out. Whether it is for rehabilitation or relaxing,
weight management or increasing aerobic capacity, work up to Nordic
walking as a physical challenge.
