Nordic walking trail of Colbéry: towards the Colbéry shelter

Nordic walking is another conception of walking, much more active. The principle is very simple: it involves emphasizing the natural swinging movements of the arms while walking and propelling the body forward with the help of two poles that allow for greater speed and distance. Muscle action is important since 80% of the muscle chains are thus engaged (triceps, abdominals, glutes, etc.). The pace is quicker than traditional walking, energy expenditure is increased, and fatigue is less felt thanks to the support of the poles. Unlike running, Nordic walking is less traumatic for the joints.

This activity allows for a reduction in stress on the joints, an improvement in cardio-pulmonary capacity, generalized muscle strengthening, and stimulated blood circulation.

Test this intermediate level course if you have a weekly physical activity or if you wish to increase the difficulty of your outing.
