BackgroundBackground of Nordic WalkingNordic Walking is one of the fastest growing recreational activities in the world and has its roots in the early 1930 as a summer training method by cross-country skiers in Finland. Development of Nordic Walking to its present form as a recreational physical activity for all started in the early 1980’s in co-operation between one of the world's largest pole manufacturer Exel Oyj, researchers in sports medicine, and other fitness professionals. The first official Nordic Walker poles were introduced to the public in 1997 and the International Nordic Walking Association, INWA, was formed.
