Nordic Skiing

Considered to be one of the best aerobic exercises, Nordic Skiing involves the simultaneous use of one’s arms and legs and use of skiing equipment like boots, skis and poles. Nordic skiing finds its origins in Scandinavia and is over 4000 years old. It used to be the sole method of transportation for these snow and ice-bound regions. Today, Nordic Skiing has come a long way from being a mode of transportation, to being a major competitive sport played right up to Olympic level.
