Nordic Walking Holidays in Austria
Be Active During Your Holidays in the Austrian Alps
Nordic Walking holidays in Austria: Nordic Walking was first developed in Finland in the Thirties as a summer training exercise for cross-country skiers. Nowadays it ranks among the latest trend sports for the whole family. It can be done anywhere and by anybody as it doesn´t require expensive equipment or clothing. However, Nordic Walking is not to be confused with hiking or trekking as the poles are planted in a specific way that increases the use of the upper body.
The valley of Grossarl is the prefect location for your Nordic Walking holidays in Austria. Nordic Walking combines aerobic exercise with toning; it increases your heart rate without a change in perceived exertion and works the shoulders, arms, upper chest and back muscles which comprise about 90% of the body's total muscle mass. It encourages good posture and provides a better full-body workout, burning 20% more calories per hour than ordinary walking.
