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.
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.
