You have probably read about the health benefits of walking.  Well, a terrific organization called Walk with a Doc both promotes walking and helps people organize around it, a noble endeavor indeed!  Recently, walkwithadoc.org published a newsletter that included 100 Reasons to Walk that we think you will enjoy reading to reaffirm some of the benefits you already know about as well as learn about others.

At York Nordic we highly recommend Nordic Walking but agree that all forms of walking are greatly beneficial.  You might be interested in reading a research white paper we published in partnership with York Hospital that demonstrated a lower risk to cancer patients of falling as a result of Nordic Walking.

Regardless of the type...let's get walking!!  Visit us at yorknordic.com to learn more and see our selection of walking and trekking poles.
