Get Fit, Burn Fat With Nordic Walking North America
STUDIO CITY (CBS) — Malin Svennson and Gary Johnson of Nordic Walking North America visited the KCAL 9 studios Monday to tell viewers how to maximize fat burning while getting fit with Nordic.
Nordic will be offering free demos at The Bodybuilding.com Los Angeles Fitness Expo, presented by Subway Restaurants, Saturday and Sunday, January 28 and 29 to the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Why Nordic Walking Works:
1. Burn 20-46% more calories than regular walking – perfect weight loss tool
2. Caloric expenditure depends on the level of technique applied (Basic/Fitness/Sport)
3. Strengthens the upper body (brief demo of upper body muscles involved) – Total Body Workout!
4. Less stress on the joints of the lower body – ankle, knee, hip – compared to walking at the same speed
5. Feels less of an effort though the body works harder (compared to walking at same speed)
6. Nordic Walking compared to other pole sports -You need Nordic Walking Poles to go Nordic Walking – not Trekking or Ski poles - Nordic Walking poles are specifically designed for the activity (show features like strap (no need to grip tight), lightness of pole (to maintain natural way of walking)and an angled asphalt paw (makes NW versatile – you can walk on all surfaces = you can go Nordic Walking anywhere)
7. Different type of poles for personal choice and purpose– fixed, semi-adjustable and fully adjustable for traveling (I will bring 3 type of poles to demo)
8. Free demo of Nordic Walking and special rates on the poles at the Evolution Fitness Conference show (the section they are in at the LA Fitness Expo)
