For #TechniqueTuesday, consider this tip when you’re starting out. It comes from a very good set of videos on YouTube.
I’m starting this clip at a segment that explains the dynamics of the Nordic walking poles.
- Notice how the poles are always at an angle.
- Also notice where the poles land. They land between the rear and lead foot. If you glance down and see your poles landing in line with your lead foot, you are letting them swing too far forward.
Take some time to watch the whole thing.
