Nordic walking and fibromyalgia

In a fibromyalgia study comparing Nordic walking women with women walking without poles, those who Nordic walked not only improved their walking times more significantly than the regular walking group, the Nordic walking group experienced a greater reduction in exercise heart rate (good) and reported significantly better scores in the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Physical function questions.

Nordic walking appears to have the flexibility for designing aerobic exercise programs that can start and maintain at lower intensity levels while still realizing the benefits of exercise. This is because the poles help activate upper body muscles without requiring higher intensity work from the lower body.
Nordic walking in Tuscaloosa County!

Join me at Bowers Park on Saturday, December 3, at 10 AM for a free Nordic walking sampler. I'll have poles on hand.

Dress for the weather, and bring some water.

Are you a beginner and never Nordic walked? Don't worry. I'll take time to teach the technique so you can get started.

Something more! I will certify anyone who wants to teach Nordic walking. If you get certified, you’ll be able to teach Nordic walking and become part of a network of instructors. TAKE NOTE: Certification costs money! Be prepared with your credit card when you register online with the American Nordic Walking Association. If you have questions, please contact me at Leroy.T.Hurt@gmail.com, 360-250-5655
