With this Brass water pipe kind of shaft you can "play " with the way you are holding the walking poles : Before sweating in the hand palms , you can have a full grip on the shaft . It was afterward promoted by the Finnish government to encourage the people to exercise . Light shirt . A hat if you will meet the hot sun !
Footwear : There are especially designed shoes for Nordic Walking , but a good walking shoe or a running shoe can also do the job .Nordic walking was launched in Finland in 1997 as a summer health work out for cross country skiers . You have a chance to see the daybreak .
. The air is most of the time not polluted .
Clothing: Use light clothing as possible .Short trousers. Not Many walkers .The hands feel very hot and sweaty inside the gloves. The reason of course is that the sweating hands are sliding on the shaft, so you can't give that push with the hands , which is a part of the Nordic Walking .
This brings to the thought that the shaft has to be the kind with curves which fit the fingers.
Walking poles : Using the walking poles with gloves is intolerable .
From my own experience I can promise you It fits also to hot countries but I have to recommend the following points :
Walking time: Early morning , is my preferred time . afterward you can hold the shaft with the thumb and index finger only.
The Nordic walking extended quickly in the Nordic countries like Norway Sweden Germany , where more people are familiar with Nordic style skiing .
Water : Very important ! I usually carry on my back a water bag , with a pipe so I don't have to leave the walking poles for drinking .
In Finland ,at the summer, the mean daily temperature is consistently above 10C . The solution is to use walking poles without gloves but they should not be the kind with flat cork shaft . About 760,000 Finns implement with this walking often. We also know that all the countries mentioned here are mostly cold countries. So what happens in the hot countries where the mean summer temperatures
Are around 30 c ? Is this kind of activity suitable for those countries , where there is no snow at all ?
I am living in a hot country with summer temperatures about the 30 c.The car traffic is low . As we can see there are Nordic Walking solutions also for the not so North countries .
Another way is to put the thumb on top of the shaft , and with the remaining fingers hold the shaft slightly
