Scandinavian walking
Scandinavian walking in Nehama Sanatorium is an outdoor workout with sticks and a clear step technique. The method helps to strengthen health, increase overall muscle tone and improve the figure. Trainings are suitable for residents of Kazan of any level of training. This is not a walk. This is a meaningful fitness activity with a clear goal and measurable result.
Scandinavian walking is becoming more and more popular in Kazan. This is not entertainment, not a simple walk around the city, but a serious kind of fitness to promote health, increase overall muscle tone, and – importantly for many Kazan residents – this “walking with ski poles” is very useful for weight loss.
As a form of fitness, this type of walking appeared almost seventy years ago in Finland, which is why it got its name. From Finland, this new form of healthy walking has spread rapidly to Denmark, Sweden and Norway due to the enormous benefits that anyone who decides to try it gets.
What is Scandinavian walking?
Scandinavian walking appeared almost seventy years ago in Finland. The name is associated with the Nordic countries. Then the method quickly became popular in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The point is simple. Step with the support of special sticks. The muscles of the back and shoulder girdle work. At the same time, the support relieves the knees and hip joints. The technique is absorbed quickly. It is suitable for reducing body weight and increasing endurance.
The reasons for the popularity of Nordic Walking
Due to the involvement of more muscles, Nordic walking consumes almost 50% more energy than regular walking, and is recommended for overweight or obese people. Increased energy intensity also strengthens the heart muscle, increasing the heart rate by 10-15 beats per minute.
Today, Nordic walking is included in rehabilitation courses after injuries and operations of the musculoskeletal system, as thanks to it, a month after the start of Nordic walking training, patients return to their normal rhythm of life.
If we also talk about the benefits of Scandinavian walking, then we can say that this therapeutic walking is especially indicated for osteochondrosis; scoliosis; lung diseases (especially with bronchial asthma); chronic back, shoulder and neck pain; vegetative-vascular dystonia; Parkinson’s disease; psychological problems (neurosis, depression); insomnia; overweight and obesity; with an increased risk of developing osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, hypertension.
