What is Nordic walking? It's an optimal option for exercise. A trend that's created a lot of buzz and still is being talked about today. But when it comes to burning calories, does Nordic walking really burn more calories than walking? The simple answer is yes.

In this short video I'll explain what it is as well as 3 reasons you can benefit from it. Nordic walking as it's known was initially called ski walking. Because it involves poles that resemble ski poles it makes perfect sense. Walking with these has its health benefits.

Here are 3 reasons you may want to take part in this exercise.

#1 Burning Calories
The intensity of the exercise that Nordic walking provides is the primary factor in its ability to help people lose weight. You are forced to utilize more muscles than you would with just regular walking, Nordic walking's usage of the poles accelerates calorie burning. The benefit of Nordic walking is that even if you are exerting yourself more because of the poles than if you were just jogging, you won't feel it as hard. This is due to the fact that the poles actually help to move you forward so that you remain at ease and are not out of breath.

#2 Easy To Make A Regular Part Of Your Daily Routine
The convenience of Nordic walking and how easy it is to add to your routine make this exercise a grand slam. You are more likely to utilize Nordic walking as a regular exercise to lose weight since you can fit it into your schedule. For instance, if your workplace is conveniently close to your home, you may easily Nordic-walk there instead of driving or utilizing another mode of transportation. There are also adjustable, transportable Nordic walking poles that you may keep in your bag and use everywhere you go, giving you more reasons to opt into this idea.

3. Fat Burning
Last at number 3 is fat burning. Nordic walking can help you lose weight. This is in part because it puts your body into something called a fat burning zone. To put it simply if you ran you would not lose as much weight faster as you would nordic walking. So why wouldn't you lose more weight running? The reason is because running puts your heart at an accelerated rate of burning sugar for fuel, as opposed to burning fat for fuel. The eye opener is that you can burn up to 40% more fat than if you were to apply yourself running.
