Footage from an introductory DVD made for LEKI is available with the click of a mouse on the pole-maker's website. Nate Goldberg, hiking director/product director and Nordic Walking instructor at Colorado's Beaver Creek Hiking Center, demonstrates and narrates one segment. He covers basic information of pole construction and adjustment, shows how to get started, and demonstrates five full-body warmup exercises. A second, longer segment begins with an in-studio introduction to LEKI poles, followed by footage of a group on a walking path, and a series of short inspirational and motivational testimonials from several fitness pros and converts to Nordic Walking. Take a look if you want to recharge your own get-out-and-go batteries, or easily show someone who's interested but not convinced just how easy and joyful Nordic Walking can be. The outdoor segments were shot at and near Bill Jackson's Shop for Adventure in Tampa, FL.

One thing that Leki did not do is to advise people to take an additional course because this video does not address how to do the open hand technique. It is a basic video but it should tell folks that they should get further instruction.
