Nordic walking combines the positive training effects of walking combined with the total-body exercise advantages of cross-country skiing. The result is a total body workout that burns up to 40 percent more calories without a change in perceived exertion. Nordic walkers can use more of their body (with greater intensity), also using the upper body muscles, abdominals and other core muscles. This extra muscle involvement leads to significant enhancements over ordinary walking. ARC membership not required to participate.
