MSN has a great article about Nordic walking, "The Easy Walking Exercise That Burns 20% More Calories and Doesn't Feel Like Hard Work".

We couldn't have said it any better, though we have seen research that indicates 40%!

Great to see the awareness growing and that more people are taking advantage of Nordic walking. Let's Get Out There!
