Nordic walking uses two specially designed poles; this activity was developed as a summer cross country ski training technique and refined into a fitness exercise. Regardless of age or fitness level you can enjoy Nordic walking on paved city paths or natural trails. FitAssist poles are fully adjustable, this gives a custom fit and allows easy storage when travelling or at home.
