nordic walking as cross training
![[Deleted User]](https://wc.vanillicon.com/cf23c3fa89fab3907a603b1b13c67dc2_100.png)
I'm gradually getting back into training after being out of action for four months with a lower back/pelvic/groin injury. As I still can't run I'm doing cardio work in the gym - elliptical trainer and power walking with a high incline on the treadmill - and I'm regaining some fitness.
However I don't want to spend too much time in the gym and I've been thinking about Nordic walking as a cross training activity until I can run again (that may be some time yet).
Has anyone any experience of Nordic walking as cross training? If so I'd appreciate some advice on choice of poles etc..

Leki is the top make of poles and has a great strap release system.
