We all know spending time outdoors does wonders for our mental and physical health, but if you're looking to upgrade your casual walk to something a little more rigorous (but still low-impact), then you may want to give Nordic Walking a go.
Nordic walking originated from Finland in the 80s and was used as an off-season training regime for cross-country skiers during the summer months. It's basically a walking technique that uses poles (not trekking poles) to help propel you along various terrain, firing up your upper and lower body muscles in the process.
