Why choose Nordic walking?

Nordic walking is a full-body workout that engages 80% of your muscles. It boosts endurance, strengthens the cardiovascular system, and tones the body. Unlike regular walking, using poles activates the upper body—working the arms, shoulders, back, and abs. That’s where we come in!

The importance of the right poles
 

To make the most of Nordic walking, having the right poles is key. At TSL, we’ve developed poles specially designed for this activity. Our models stand out for their:

• Lightweight Carbon and robust Aluminum construction: Made with premium materials, our poles are light to avoid weighing you down, yet tough enough to withstand impact.
  You can choose from:

  • C100 (100% Carbon)

  • C70 (70% Carbon, 30% Aluminum)

  • C50 (50% Carbon, 50% Aluminum)

  • C20 (20% Carbon, 80% Aluminum)

• Ergonomics: Our handles provide a comfortable and secure grip, ensuring better propulsion and ideal posture.

• Detachable strap system: Equipped with our Magnetic System, our poles offer free movement and quick-release capability when needed.

• Adaptable tip with Crossover pad: Whether you’re walking on dirt trails, asphalt, or snowy terrain, our tips adjust for optimal grip on any surface. You can add Crossover pads—included with all poles in the Tactil range—for extra versatility.

A few tips to enhance your Nordic walking skills

1. Master the technique: Nordic walking isn’t just walking with poles. The key lies in coordinating arms and legs. Move the opposite arm and leg forward simultaneously, planting the pole firmly behind you to push off effectively.

2. Work on your posture: Keep your back straight, eyes forward, and avoid raising your shoulders while using the poles. This helps engage your back and core muscles while preventing tension.

3. Progress gradually: If you're new, start with 30 to 45-minute sessions, then gradually increase time and intensity. Practice on various terrains to engage new muscles and improve balance.

4. Wear proper gear: In addition to good poles, choose shoes suitable for Nordic walking—flexible, lightweight, and supportive.
