FootePath to Chiropractic Health
Your chiropractor will be the first person to tell you how important it is to your overall health to have a healthy spine. A spinal subluxation, if left untreated, can lead to a host of health problems down the line. Chiropractic adjustments can help realign your spine. And then its up to you to maintain that alignment, through proper exercise. You need something that is low impact, that will strengthen the muscles in your back, and yet not create too much strain.
Nordic Walking may be the answer you’re looking for.
Nordic Walking is a very postural exercise. Without thinking about it, you stand straighter, taller, you keep your shoulders back, and your spine maintains its proper alignment. That’s just an “accidental” benefit of Nordic Walking.
Nordic Walking has many benefits over regular walking, some of which include the following:
- Up to 25% increased oxygen consumption, which pumps up your cardio
- Burn up to 40% more calories during your walk
- Reduce stress to your knees and lower joints
- R educe heel strike force by 26%
- Strengthen your upper body and create resistance to build better bone density
We at FootePath are committed to helping you learn this easy, fun way to get the exercise you need for improved overall health and fitness.
