Hack your walk with Nordic Walking Guy’s 3 rules:

- Remember everything count’s but not everything matters!
A study published by International Journal of Exercise Science explained the benefits of Nordic walking for people with mild to moderate low-back pain. Here are some quotations from the article:
- “Nordic pole use increases balance and stability, distributes weight through the arms and torso, and decreases loading of the spine and lower limbs.”
- “…we found a significant reduction in pain from the 5-minute warm-up using poles to walk to the start of the course.”
- “…Nordic walking could be beneficial to both pain and overall health and fitness if routinely continued as part of an exercise plan.”
