The STABILIZER Nordic Walking Pole is a versatile and reliable choice for individuals seeking the benefits of Nordic walking, emphasizing comfort, adjustability, and durability. Designed by a physiotherapist exclusively for Nordixx, the STABILIZER pole is ideal for individuals undergoing rehabilitation from lower body injuries, residents in long-term care homes, or those facing stability and balance challenges. The Button Lock System (similar to a cane) enables quick and easy adjustments to the pole's length, ensuring convenience for users of different heights, and for anyone who has difficulty with the twist-lock mechanism of the other styles of poles. The increased diameter of the poles enhances their sturdiness and strength, providing reliable full-body weight support during use, and a slight lip on the bottom of the grips enhances comfort and ensures a secure hold.

Who we are

Nordic Pole Walking is a low-impact fitness activity that offers the highest benefits for weight loss, health, and wellness. Nordic Walking Poles enable you to incorporate over 90% of all your body muscles. It’s ‘turbo-powered’ walking, using poles to propel yourself, burning up to 46% more calories than normal walking because you’re working your upper body as well as your legs – but the support from the poles means it actually feels easier.
Bill has a background in health and fitness. He was the CEO of the Lung Association of NS for 15 years; prior to that he was Atlantic Area Director of the YMCA for 12 years. He has been involved in Nordic Walking since 2008. Esther has been an avid Nordic Walker since 2011. She demonstrates the proper form of Nordic Walking in the instructional videos.
