Isometric Exercises for Nordic Walking and Trekking: Part 1. Exercises for Individuals - Strength, Muscle and Stamina Building Exercises to Improve th

The isometric exercise system has been successfully trialled and deployed for employees by the National Health Service (NHS) Innovation Team in Greater Manchester, England.

The authors, Brian Sterling-Vete and Helen Renée Wuorio, worked closely with the NHS Innovation Team to create a practical and effective system suitable for virtually anyone, even if they wish to exercise discretely while at work to save valuable after-work time.

Nordic Walking and Trekking are some of the most popular forms of outdoor exercise available to almost everyone.

Now, more people than ever are spending an increasing amount of time outdoors, so professional walk leaders and amateur enthusiasts are choosing to enhance the experience by incorporating a ’Fitness on the Move’ approach.

This means that more Nordic Walkers and Trekkers than ever are performing powerful and scientifically proven total-body isometric exercise sessions during scheduled walk breaks in almost any location.

These improvised workout sessions primarily use walking poles, which we call IIEDs - Improvised Isometric Exercise Devices.

With some basic knowledge and the improvised exercise ideas in this book, people are turning their walking poles into extremely effective go-anywhere multigyms.

Also, walk leaders and fitness professionals can use this book as a handy resource guide to devise new, fun-filled, and effective exercise sessions during group walking breaks.

In the exercise section, arrows clearly show the direction in which the force should be applied.

One book focuses on exercises that individuals can perform, and the other on exercises that can be performed in partner pairs.

Since the background exercise science remains the same, the introduction and relevant exercise science sections in both books are essentially the same.

The important difference between the two companion books is the exercise resource section, with each book focusing only on one aspect.

NOTE: This is one of two companion books that form a set.
