The development of conditional and coordinative abilities through Nordic Walking in the

secondary school

I came across the abstracts from the International Nordic Walking Federation's annual conference. Here is some information from one of the presentations. This one was by Loredana Lonati, docente di Educazione Fisica / Physical Education Teacher, Istituto d’Istruzione Superiore “Lunardi,” Brescia, NW National Technician Master’s degree 1 lev.

The study sought to increase activity levels in normally sedentary students. As a result, boys increased their activity that transferred over to other sports.

Nordic walking comes to Birmingham!

Join me at in Vestavia Hills on Saturday, November 5, at 10 AM for a free Nordic walking sampler. I'll have poles on hand.

Dress for the weather, and bring some water.

For more information about Nordic walking, check out the Nordic Walking Guy blog and the Facebook page. Click here for the schedule for the rest of the year.

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