In English:

Nordic walking is yet popular in Finland although it was invented in 1997 by Marko Kantaneva. Its “basics” were made known in 1974 by Mauri Repo. In this post I show how people in my home town practice Nordic walking on a beautiful summer day.

My photos go this way: Warm-up, walking, before the start, rest stop and arriving to the departure place. Two last photos are some weeks later when we walked the route again. If You are interested about Nordic walking, after photos I give some links to better know what others write about it.

En español:

Nordic Walking es aún popular en Finlandia aunque fue inventado ya en 1997 por Marko Kantaneva. Sus “básico” se dieron a conocer en 1974 por Mauri Repo. En este post voy a mostrar cómo la gente en mi ciudad natal practica caminata nórdica en un día soleado de verano.

Mis fotos van de esta manera: calentamiento, antes de comenzar, caminando, área de descanso y llegando al lugar de salida. Dos últimas fotos son algunas semanas más tarde, cuando caminamos la ruta de nuevo. Si usted está interesado acerca de la marcha nórdica, despues las fotos voy a dar para Vosotros algunos enlaces para conocer mejor lo que otros escriben sobre él.

Para practicar la marcha nórdica, Usted necesita sólo bastones de caminata nórdica.

En francais:

La marche nordique est encore populaire en Finlande bien que elle a été inventé déjà en 1997 par Marko Kantaneva. Ses “fondamentaux” ont été portées à la connaissance en 1974 par Mauri Repo. Dans ce post, je montrerai comment les gens dans ma ville natale vont pratiquer la marche nordique sur un jour ensoleillé d’été.

Mes photos vont de cette façon: Warm-up, lavant le démarrage,a marche, aire de repos et arrivant à l’endroit de départ. Deux dernières photos sont quelques semaines plus tard quand nous sommes entrés de nouveau la route. Si vous êtes intéressé au sujet de la marche nordique, après mes photos je donne quelques liens pour mieux connaître ce que les autres écrivent à ce sujet.

Pour pratiquer la marche nordique, vous n’avez besoin que de bâtons de marche nordique.

  Nature et sport sont excellente combinaisons. Nature aide l’esprit et le sport de notre condition physique. Ce fut une expérience très agréable. Merci pour votre commentaire si gentil.

You’re going to be so nice and fit! I saw a big group of Nordic walkers, in costume, during Carnevale in Venice.

La marche nordique est arrivée chez moi, c’est tout un sport,
je suis plus traditionel, je lui prefère la bonne vielle rando
le long de nos chemins de campagne.
Le reflet sur la onzième photos est magnifique.
Belle fin de soirée et bon Weekend.

- Bonjour Hervé.
  
  Le fait est que nous aimons aussi la marche “normale” plus. Ma femme était curieux de voir comment se réchauffer. Les bâtons de marche étaient cadeau de son employeur. Aujourd’hui, elle aime courir un peu aussi.
  
  La chose la plus importante est de sortir, jouir de l’air frais, et, de la nature!
  
  Je te souhaite un agréable weekend!

I have not yet tried it – so far! ^^ But looking at your photos automatically intensifies the wish to start with it. To give it a try. People seem to enjoy it very much (and it’s healthy, too). And you know, with such beautiful forests around (like you have them in Finland), it simply must be inevitable to start the nordic walking as quick as possible.
Have a nice weekend!

- Hi Michèle.
  
  Thank You for Your lovely comment. I translated this from a Finnish page: “Many studies have shown that Nordic walking is clearly – up to 20% – better than walking without poles. Walking with poles helps oxygen consumption to rise more, the heart rate increases more and muscles are working more than when doing ordinary walking.
  
  Since the poles to use to put your hands, neck, shoulders and back work more efficiently than ordinary walking, the species is ideally suited for seating workers and those who have neck shoulder pains.”
  
  The length of poles is important! How to calculate the length of poles? Pole length is 0.68 x your height. So this is the easiest way to calculate the length of the poles.
  
  You must remember that what is suitable for one, does not fit the other, meaning that You can love it or not.
  
  Happy weekend!

That has to be very good exercise, and from your photos, you have a beautiful place in which to do it! It’s interesting to see all of the folks out doing it!

- Hello Terry.
  
  When not hiking, this one way to keep oneself in good condition. My wife especially interested in warmup, because with poles man can make many “useful” training movements even inside. Thank You commenting.
  
  Have a great weekend.

How long distance walking?

- Hi Keith.
  
  Thank You for Your comment. Well, this route was short. When exercising our daily walking, it varies between seven and ten kilometers. It keeps us in good condition.
  
  良い週末!

Hello,Sartenada. It sounds nice! I can imagine how confortable to walk in nature. Autum is best season for walking, isn’t it?

  Autumn is best season to walk in in the nature, because it is not too hot, cold has not arrived and no mosquitos. Thank You checking my post and leaving Your comment.

  I am glad that You loved my photos. Comparison between landscapes around the world is interesting to always. In this area there are pines everywhere. There are many types of forests here, like: mixed forests, spruce forests, birch forests etc. Thank You leaving Your comment.

looks like great exercise and I like the outdoor exercise equipment too. We do have those in Canada as well.

- Hi Sue.
  
  Thank You. Most important is to go outside to walk, run, bike, hike, what ever, but not to stay inside if possible. I was quite sure that Nordic walking was known in Canada also.
  
  Have a great start of new week.

Nordic walking is also popular in Canada, but I have not seen such a large organised group yet, except for Nordic skiing. What a lovely and social day. I like the exercise park or is that a playground for adults ?

- Hi Linda.
  
  The exercise is for both, children and adults, but in this case most visitors are adults because the walk / hike in the woods. Thank You for Your comment.

We even have Nordic walking where I live. One of the fitness centers promotes it. I have the poles that I used for hiking. If I could figure our how to hold the poles and the dog leash at the same time, I’d try it on my neighborhood walks. Thanks for another look into your lives in Finland, Matti!

I was lucky to be in Finland 2 years ago. I saw 2 old women walking with two sticks. I asked them what the sticks were for and they gently told me they were for Nordic walking.

Olá!

Estive sem internet por uns tempos, mas voltei com tudo e já estou aqui outra vez! 🙂

Gostei das fotos, do lugar. A trilha parece bem interessante. Adoro caminhadas. A última que fiz foi para Terra Rica, onde há três morros, veja uma foto: http://www.turismoregional.com.br/_assets/imagens/municipios/927_fotos_g.jpg

Grande Abraço

Té +!

I have seen the people of Nordic Walking in Tokyo sometimes.
However, it is very rare. Nordic Walking is not well known to Japanese people.
But I am very interested in Nordic Walking. I’d like to try it someday.
Kiitos 🙂

  Very nice, I think that it is worth for a try. Normal walking keeps balance and feet in good condition, but Nordic walking also hands and shoulders.

I belong to a Nordic walking group, Sartenada, and we’re often to be seen walking briskly along the beach in my home town. I just spotted your sand sculptures in your previous post and they look fabulous so I’m off there now. 🙂

What a lot of people together – a true social event! I use poles when I’m backpacking with a heavy load, but I obviously don’t do the proper Nordic Walking thing!

[…] Older people walk with walking poles. And not just when they’re walking off the path. This is through suburban streets. At first I thought this was funny, but then when the ice came, I realised how genius it was. Can I have some? *UPDATE* I’ve been informed that it’s called “Nordic Walking”. It looks awesome! Check out the link HERE. […]
