That left him in a bit of a pickle. Brockerville still wanted to keep active but needed to do so in a way that wouldn’t cause any irritation to his injury. “I personally experienced the benefits of Nordic walking, and I want to share that with the general population and with all the runners who could benefit from Nordic walking,” he said.
The physical activity of using the poles can help improve someone’s cardiovascular fitness and muscular endurance fitness. It also helps with weight management and rehabilitation. There are also the usual mental health benefits as well. “It can be a form of cross training, and runners tend to be stronger on the lower body and they're always looking for ways to improve their upper body.”— Gordon BrockervilleLike others participating in the Tely 10, Brockerville will finally get to put his training to use.
