How to Use Walking Poles for Nordic Walking? The Complete Guide to Full‑Body Fitness
Nordic walking uses a diagonal stride: right pole with left foot. Plant the pole beside your trailing foot, push down and back through the strap, and open your hand at the end—the pole swings forward naturally. Use fixed‑length poles with angled grips for efficiency. Maintain upright posture and a relaxed grip. This technique engages 90% of muscles, burns more calories, and propels you forward with less effort. Practice on flat terrain first.
