Nordic walking technique: Correct angle for your Nordic walking poles

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 highlights the angle of the Nordic walking poles during the stride.

• You’ll see the poles are at an angle in relation to the ground, not perpendicular to the ground.
• The angle of landing makes it possible to use the poles to push yourself forward and accelerate your pace.

Take some time to watch the whole thing.
