Hiking/Trekking Poles vs. Nordic Walking Poles
What is the difference?
Trekking and Hiking poles are great to take with you when you go climbing up in our beautiful Utah Mountains or other uneven terrain. These poles were specifically designed to be planted in front of you to help pull you along.
Nordic Walking poles are always behind you, helping to propel you forward. The basics of Nordic Walking employ the natural walking movements of your entire body, turning your usual walk into a whole-body fitness experience.
