Nordic Walking in Kamloops, British Columbia

Cross-Country skiing has been long recognized being one of the most effective body workouts for burning calories and building cardio-vascular fitness combined with reduced stress on your joints.

Now, thanks to Nordic Pole Walking, all this and more can be achieved without the skis and the snow, anytime; all year round, in any climate, on any surface!

A latest trend in fitness and health originating in Finland, Nordic Walking is an efficient, low-stress exercise technique that involves the use of walking poles to engage the legs and upper body in a total body workout with clinically demonstrated physical and psychological benefits.

In Kamloops you may find it is common to see people walking in parks, on trails and around the City with what look like ski poles; but these poles are all part of the training.

This is a great pass-time and allows you to still go and see our various parks and city attractions while you are exercising. Additionally, it is a great training exercise for competitors and sports teams.
