Nordic Walking began as a summer training exercise for serious "cross country" skiers.
Fitness walkers in Europe adopted Nordic Walking as a time-efficient, low-stress, total body workout.
Today, approximately 500,000 people in Finland enjoy Nordic Walking regularly, and it is spreading in
popularity throughout Scandinavia. Nordic Walking’s popularity is growing with walking clubs and
instructors leading classes across the United States.
LEKI Nordic Walking Poles are slightly modified versions of our world-famous trekking poles.
All poles feature a narrow profile "cross country"-style grip with the Adjustable/Releasable
Trigger Strap. Shafts are composed of expedition-grade aluminum. All poles feature Carbide Tips,
removable Rubber Fitness Walking Tips and Baskets.
Super Lock System
LEKI Nordic Walking Poles allow you to adjust the length of the poles to your height and walking
surface. The Super Lock System provides optimum locking with less tightening torque than most
adjustable poles. This is the strongest system in the world, with 360 degree reverse turn security
and 140kg holding force. It was tested and endorsed by TUV, the official technical test center in Germany.
Adjustable/Releasable Trigger Strap
LEKI’s Adjustable/Releasable Trigger Strap offers superior wrist support and the convenience of a
releasable system. You can easily click in and out of the grip to grab your water bottle or slip on
a jacket and do warm-up/cool-down excercises.
Rubber Fitness Tips
Designed to grip pavement and deliver added support and stability, the LEKI Rubber Fitness Tips should
always face towards the back, behind you. This position allows you to "push off" more efficiently,
increasing your upper body workout. Remove the Rubber Fitness Tips to expose the Carbide Flextips if
you Nordic Walk on gravel or slick surfaces.
