Who would’ve thought?

December 29, 2008 in HOW, Nordic Walking

 When LEKI was in town we did a quick filming on getting started with nordic walking poles. It’s been posted on You Tube so I guess I’m a star now!  Check it out:

The target ad this week featured Nordic Walking poles for $20. Now we all know it’s a cheap substitute for a good Nordic Walking pole, but the amazing thing is that they have it at all.  Just think, only 4 years ago, when we all started nordic walking no one knew anything about it.  Even today many think we’re training for nordic skiing, or maybe we’re just confused. I think it’s exciting that nordic walking has come to the point where it is accessible to everyone!
