Chinanews, Beijing, September 26 – 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 specially1 designed poles to engage the upper body during fitness2 walking, which originated3 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.
