5 surprising facts you probably didn’t know about Nordic walking

We all know spending time outdoors does wonders for our mental and physical health, but if you’re looking to upgrade your casual walk to something a little more rigorous (but still low-impact), then you may want to give Nordic Walking a go. 

Nordic walking originated from Finland in the 80s and was used as an off-season training regime for cross-country skiers during the summer months.
