It is the ultimate
22 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
One would think that the title of this book is an exaggeration, but it isn't. I read books and articles prior to this book, but this book has it all. Whether you're a beginner (like me) or you're really into competing or you just want a great physical outdoor workout, this is the only book that you will need.
You get everything "from soup to nuts": the history, choosing all the equipment, the techniques of nordic walking, a weight loss program, encouragement about fighting diseases, a total exercise program, and ten(!) fitness programs. It's very well written by a top track and field coach, an excellent educator, and a fitness pioneer.
Buy the book, then head out for a wonderful time; guaranteed.

Great workout with Nordic poles!
21 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
I am a new user of Nordic Poles for my walking regime. I had rotary cuff surgery about five months ago, and feel that the use of the Nordic walking poles is good exercise for helping to strengthen my shoulder. (My neighbors call me 'the old lady that walks with two canes') I especially like the warm-up exercises. Mitzy Allen, Punta Gorda, Florida

Nordic walking for all!
12 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
Nordic walking is soooo much better than walking without poles ~ I don't know why this hasn't caught on in the U.S. like it has in Europe!! I will NEVER walk for fitness without poles again! I am seriously considering giving free classes in our community center because it is so awesome. I would have given this product 5 stars, but the company that sent me the book, "books-fyi" sent me this product two weeks late and badly damaged! DO NOT use this company: BOOKS-FYI, choose someone else!
