I stumbled across Nordic Walking by accident. Someone recommended that I use poles to hike the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It was one of the best decisions I made for the hike. It made a huge difference in keeping balance with a heavy backpack and maintaining a good stride while walking. I look forward to trying the Nordic Walking again for fun and exercise with no pack.
