Nordic Walking FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
.
Q) "I've been told not to grip the pole through the entire poling action; is this correct?"
A) "Yes, you want your hand to form a loose sheath around the pole handle so that the handle is free to slip through your hand when you push down into the strap and then again as your arm swings forward in The Recovery phase."
Note: If you are walking up or down a steep hill, or if there is a strong cross wind, you may need a firmer grip.
This is just one of 37 questions I have answered in the FAQs section of my new book, "Nordic Walking Step by Step" - To download your FREE four chapter excerpt visit:
