If you don't learn the correct technique, then the best case scenario is you simply wonโt experience the benefits - worst case scenario is that you could injure yourself. In addition, there are many poles with different features - so it's a good idea to try out the different models to figure out what is most...

We don't yet understand exercise and mood enough to know exactly which type of exercise is best - or how much - but what we do know is that it definitely has a positive effect. Exercise can: increase your energy levels help you...
The treatment for cancer frequently leaves people exhausted with a feeling that their energy is just so low that they lack the strength to exercise.ย However, exercise is key โ both in helping increase energy and also to protect against future cancers.ย The beauty of Nordic walking is that the poles act as support and can really help empower you to get out and be active โ from the point of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.ย An added benefit is that the perceived level of exertion (how hard you feel you are working) is far less than how hard you...
