About Nordic Walking

What is Nordic Walking?

Nordic walking is more than a fitness trend. It’s a full-body, low-impact workout using specially designed poles. Originating in Finland, it's a proven method to improve posture, cardiovascular health, and muscle tone without overstraining joints.

  • Improves balance and stability
  • Engages over 90% of body muscles
  • Reduces knee and ankle strain

Words from Our Community

"Nordic walking helped me recover from knee surgery faster than I imagined. The support from the team is unmatched."

"Being outside, moving with a group, and seeing results? It's addictive in the best way!"

"This program changed my routine and my health. I sleep better and feel more energized."

The Science Behind the Stride

Studies show that Nordic walking increases heart rate more than regular walking at the same speed while also reducing perceived exertion. This means more calories burned, stronger muscles, and a safer experience for joints.

Doctors across Europe now prescribe Nordic walking as part of recovery programs and daily movement routines for seniors, office workers, and athletes alike.

At Hollisterra, we believe walking is more than movement. It’s a ritual of care, presence, and self-respect. You don’t have to run to feel powerful — you just need to move with intention.
