Nordic cross training – the outdoor sport for everyone

The Nordic-Cross-Trainer is a piece of sporting equipment which combines the advantages of Nordic walking poles with the effects of a cross trainer. The Nordic-Cross-Trainer makes your sports programme particularly effective yet gentle at the same time. Ideal for everyone – from sporting newcomers to sporting professionals.

Significantly increased heart rate

The Nordic-Cross-Trainer enables an intense, and thus effective, cardiovascular workout.

Increased energy consumption

As additional groups of muscles are involved in the movement used to push off, training with the Nordic-Cross-Trainer consumes up to 20% more energy than when walking.

Effective straightening of the upper body

The ergonomically-shaped poles optimally bear the weight of the body, guaranteeing an upright and unencumbered way of walking.

A mobilised spine

The movement of swinging forwards and backwards alternately, and the shoulder rotation associated with this, mobilises the spine.

Protects the joints

The Nordic-Cross-Trainer reduces bumps and impacts, tangibly protecting your musculoskeletal system.

Holistic strength training

As additional groups of muscles are involved in the movement used to push off, up to 90 % of the muscles in your body are trained at once.

Who invented it?

Orthopaedist and sports physician Dr Georg Kaupe from Bonn developed a training device which enables an upright, unencumbered way of walking: the Cross Shaper. MDR, a German broadcaster, presented this piece of sporting equipment in a report.

Since then, this device has continued to be technically optimised and is now called Nordic-Cross-Trainer. The effect remains the same: a compact, whole-body workout for any fitness level.

Opinions

Nordic-cross-training revolutionises and optimises the physiology of walking for both young and old.
