More Calories, Less Effort. For sports people, scientific studies of high intensity Nordic Walking have demonstrated heart rate levels reaching 75% of maximum values. Running with Nordic Walking poles allows you to turn up the intensity even further.

Try Nordic Walking while wearing a heart rate monitor. The lowered rate of perceived exertion (RPE) felt with Nordic Walking means you might be surprised at just how hard your heart is working, while you are feeling relatively comfortable. This whole body muscular activity, high heart rate response and yet lowered RPE found with Nordic Walking means you can work at a higher intensity, for longer and with more ease than in many other types of training exercises - ideal exercise.
