Nordic walking route of Colbéry: towards the St. Oury forest path

Nordic walking is a different approach to 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 using two poles that allow you to go faster and farther. Muscle action is important since 80% of the muscle chains are thus engaged (triceps, abdominals, glutes, etc.). The pace is faster 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 strain on the joints, an improvement in cardiorespiratory capacities, generalized muscle strengthening, and stimulated blood circulation.

Try this route suitable for everyone that is accessible to all if you are returning to physical activity or if you wish to try Nordic walking.
