I am a hard-core fitness nut: lifting heavy, running, biking, jumping rope, BUT my daughter bought me poles while I was recovering from a marathon injury (pulled Achilles) and I absolutely LOVE them!!

I was like you the firs time I was given those things. I felt ridiculous and very awkward, but minutes later I was happily nordic walking away and didn’t want to do any other type of exercise cause I felt so good and I enjoyed it so much. I have since had surgery and was really spun off track but now I want to get back into it and can’t wait to get a set of poles for myself again.
Thanks for reminding me how wonderful that whole experience was.

I’ve always wanted to try walking poles, my Mom has some and loves them. I’ve walked to work every day for the last 20 years and my walking commute includes 4 flights of stairs. I swear that, regardless of my fluctuating weight, it’s one of the main reasons I have good blood pressure and cholesterol.

My former trainer wanted me to try these, but they were always “on back order” while I still trained with her. They’d be cool to have. Now that I can start looking for “normal” again, I have to find my fitness/health groove.

I plan to completely ignore those United Kindgom folks who say that 15 mintues of walking will decrease chocolate cravings. If I stop wanting chocolate… please put a straight jacket on my and through me in a padded room. BUT the nordic walking seems really cool! Nordic reminds me of Eric Northman from True Blood. Can I think of him while I’m striding with my chest out and lowering my chances of colon and breast cancer?
