Technology - Quality Nordic Walking Poles

Real Nordic Walking Poles:
The American Nordic Walking System and WWW.SKIWALKING.COM are committed to quality equipment and proven teaching systems. Don't get scammed by cheap/flimsy twist-lock and flip-lock 2-piece and 3-piece adjustable length poles that rattle, vibrate and/or collapse unexpectedly. Be sure to look for patented comfortable Nordic Walking straps (we equip all of our poles with Salomon patented straps). And when it comes to learning correct Nordic Walking technique remember the goodness of Nordic Walking is the wonderful walking posture (super straight back) automatically provided when using the correct length poles.

Perfect length poles help us to automatically walk with a super straight back - better walking posture is biomechanically a good thing. This improved walking posture when combined with the unique 4-Wheel-Drive type action of walking with the correct length poles really does reduce the stress to the shins, knees, hips and back. Nordic Walking is low impact and yet provides a highly effective workout - burning more calories and working more muscle groups than regular walking.

The many benefits of Nordic Walking sounds like magic, but it is just good physics. When using the perfect length poles one's walking biomechanics hugely improves - radically reducing the stress to the shins, knees, hips and back. The American Nordic Walking System and SKIWALKING.COM keep it simple and easy. ALL customers receive a Perfect Length Guarantee, a FREE Nordic Walking DVD and we email additional instructions too!

Our patented and comfortable straps eliminate the need to grip the poles and allows us the option to keep our fingers relaxed. Instructions on how to Nordic Walk correctly is spelled out in The American Nordic Walking System. Remember to keeps those fingers relaxed (NO white knuckling of the poles) and keep your chin up!

SWIX Nordic Walking Straps
Patented and comfortable Nordic Walking straps - patented by the Salomon Ski Company. These are not cheap velcro slings from China, but comfortable fingerless glove type straps. Real Nordic Walking straps allow for the correct use of the poles and provide the effective transfer of pressure from the heel of the hand into the unique cradle of these straps. When Nordic Walking you do NOT grip the poles and the fingers are relaxed. When shopping for new poles be sure to ask for "Salomon patented Nordic Walking Straps" and avoid cheap twist-lock and flip-lock poles from China.

I have been coaching skiers for over 25 years and skiers don't use cheap/flimsy twist-lock and flip-lock poles from China! One-size fits all collapsible poles may sound good, but don't be fooled. Our SWIX one-piece poles are much safer, they don't rattle and vibrate, they don't collapse unexpectedly and they last longer. Hundreds of our new customers accidentally purchased cheap/flimsy twist-lock and flip-lock poles from other companies, loved the concept of Nordic Walking, but hated the twist-lock systems. They LOVE our dependable and user-friendly poles - custom fit to each person's height.
