Nordic walking hot in Beijing

Last Saturday, about 300 Beijingers gathered in Yuan Da Du Site Park to
join a great Nordic Walking parade along the bench of the moat.

Nordic Walking uses specially designed poles to engage the upper body
during fitness walking, which originated in Finland as first used when it
was a summer training method by cross-country skiers. It was then
developed into a fitness exercise with specific training equipment.

Nordic Walking has been widely accepted and loved by Beijingers ever
since its first appearance in last June, as it involves more muscles than
any other traditional fitness activities, and consumes much more energy.
It is even safer than jogging as there are two poles to support the
exerciser's body.

Nordic Walking is one of the best exercises for almost everybody.
