- Walking: this gentle sport is very effective for training the cardiovascular system. It can serve as training towards Nordic walking or jogging. Anyone can do it and achieve optimal results, as long as they use the proper technique.

An ideal training programme is two 30+ minute sessions per week. A pre-session warm-up and a post-session cool-down are essential for optimum results.
