| Nordic Walking belongs to a wider concept called Nordic Fitness Sports. The concept which was developed by a Finnish sporting goods manufacturer Exel includes several similar health sports of which you can choose one or more depending on weather conditions, the environment or the season.
What is common between each of these disciplines is that they all comprise similar motions and health benefits. The summer modalities are Nordic Walking, Nordic Blading and Nordic Hill Walking. The winter disciplines are Nordic Fitness Skiing, Nordic Snowshoeing and Nordic Winter Walking. INWA is also developing education programs for these other disciplines of Nordic Fitness Sports. These additional activities are then being offered by the to member organisations worldwide depending how well each of them suit to the local conditions.
