Amazing benefits of Nordic walking

Take a look at this list of benefits cataloged in a research article about Nordic walking and lower back pain:

• "…sciatica decreased"
• "…low back, hand, and leg pain were alleviated"
• …increased oxygen consumption, heart rate, and calorie expenditure"
• "…increasing stability and reducing loading"
• "…improved muscle strength and body balance"
• "…with chronic degenerative knee arthritis…pain reduced significantly"
• "…reduced pain and disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis"

Much of this comes from Nordic walking being full body and using more muscles.
