@INWAQuebecNC I think you are making too much of the so called "right techniques". What's most important to me is getting out there a doing it. There is no scientific evidence that proves one particular technique is better than another. The main thing is using poles during a walk, rather than just plain walking. I think the introduction of poles for walking is a boon for physical fitness in general. Whatever way you choose to use them.
This technique is so basic, she would not pass any nordic walking instructor certification. Arm movement limited, no propulsion, no arm extension, stiff hand on the handles. Looks like she's handling senior walking sticks. NW is more dynamic than that image and it should be tought by certified instructors. Be careful and enjoy nordic walking with a certified instructor.
