A Pilates instructor wrote an article about calf strengthening that Nordic walkers can adapt and even do more effectively.
Your calvesare power engines, shock absorbers, stabilizers, and circulatory pumps that make #NordicWalking efficient, safe, and sustainable.
She laid out 4 foot positions to attack the calves.
- Shoulder width-apart
- Heels touching
- Toes touching
- Wider than shoulder-width apart
Check out the video to understand the calf workouts, and then consider how to adapt your Nordic walking poles.
#NordicWalking poles can give you balance as you work on your calves. You can gradually reduce your dependence on the poles to achieve full balance on your own without using the poles.
You can also do calf work on one leg at a time to add intensity. Using #NordicWalking poles for balance makes that a very viable approach.
