What is Nordic Walking?
Nordic Walking, is a sport that emerged in northern Europe, in the 1930s. The funny thing is that it was created as a mode of practice for all those skiers that in the warmer months, could not ski because of the absence of snow.
This is how Nordic walking appeared on the sports scene. A new sport that took its athletes, always accompanied by the characteristic Nordic walking sticks, for the most beautiful trails of the Finnish mountains. But the Nordic Walking was institutionalized a decade later, and thus began to spread to other European countries such as Austria and Germany, reaching the United States and expanding to all corners of the world.
