The great out doors is our playground and with the Nordic Walking Intervals workout, we transform the outdoors into a complete body training system to rival any indoor gym!  In an interval fashion, basic Nordic Walking is combined with intervals of body weight strength training and intense cardio bursts to really increase the workout level.  Park benches become weight machines and curbs become stair climbers.  Plus, intervals of Nordic running, bounding and jumping add in to make this an intense but playfully fun workout.

Take your circuit workout outdoors and utilize your terrain and landmarks to Whether your club is urban or suburban, you'll find great ways to increase all your components of fitness using the Nordic Walking Poles and a little ingenuity!
