For those new to the world of Nordic skiing, let me tell you a bit about it! Originally used in European countries as a way to get around in the winter, it has now become a world-wide racing sport. There’s even a version that involves shooting targets while skiing- cool, huh? Although traditionally more well-known in Europe, it has become more popular in the United States in recent years, due to Olympic Gold Medalist Jessie Diggins earning multiple World Cup titles and Olympic medals for the US. Add to that being cooped inside during winter months in a pandemic, it seems more people than ever are learning to cross country ski (another name for Nordic skiing). The fitness benefits are AMAZING and ANYONE can learn. So check out my blog posts to learn all about Nordic skiing, along with other fitness tips and how to raise your kids to love fitness and the outdoors too! Whether you’ve never skied, would like to start, or are an advanced skier, there’s something here for everyone (yes, even if there’s no snow where you live).
