Nordic walking at changes in motion

Changes in Motion is pleased to be one of the few to offer Nordic Walking Personal Training. Europeans have long seen the benefits of the poles adding a welcome distraction during exercise as well as averting boredom while stimulating the brain. Fifteen minutes of Nordic Walking is like a thirty minute power walk. The technique transfers up to 45% of the impact on your lower body to the poles, reducing strain on the knees and hips. Core muscles get a workout, too. It is like Pilates on the move. You burn 60% more calories than just walking.
