Blood flow makes your brain go! When we think about getting our blood pumping we may think about our heart, maybe our lungs, certainly our flushed cheeks, but have you ever considered that improved blood flow could affect your brain?

Stress and aging can affect our brain's function but regular exercise can help maintain a more productive mind aiding in executive function, memory, and processing speed. What you may notice is easier decision making, higher motivation, and less grasping for the right word.

If you happen to be on a trail that has long incline or decline sections, it may be worth it to adjust your poles for your trek. Since our poles are adjusted based on a 90° elbow angle for flat ground, your technique may be affected when we’re walking for long periods up or down a hill.

Additionally, for safety, you may want to try a wider stance when going downhill, whether you adjust your poles or not. If you feel uncontrolled on the decline, consider walking in a zig-zag pattern to alter the effect of the angle on your joints.

The more you experience different terrain, the more you should learn about safety and technique! Of course, if you’re out with us, we’ll be sure to help you during your walk with tips for terrain on our more advanced and technical adventures!

It’s not just your hips, knees, and ankles that benefit from walking with poles!

Because you’re engaging your upper body you may start to notice changes in your shoulders, arms and hand strength too! Think better mobility and enhanced grip strength.

Motion is lotion and the rhythmic swing of your arms during proper Nordic walking technique helps lubricate your shoulder joints. All while the ergonomic handles of the poles help you build grip strength without putting undue pressure on your wrist joints.

Nordic walking is a low-impact, full body cardio option that’s all the rage, but how do you get started?
