Editorial Reviews

Review

"Xczone.tv, the creators of the Natural Fitness movement, have produced a truely superb instructional DVD for Nordic Ski Walking. " --xcskiing.tv, April, 2006

Product Description

Starting with the trademark Natural Fitness Series, xczone integrates core fitness with the fresh air experience and a sustainable healthy lifestyle. Nordic ski walking is a great place to start. The DVD opens with an introductory lesson for beginners and progresses to more advanced nordic-SKI-walking and striding training for skiers. Xczone has been teaching nordic ski-walking for decades; demonstrating correct form and application of nordic ski walking in CDROM/DVDs since 1999. Nordic ski walking has formed the core of serious dry-land training for us since 1976, leading towards two Olympics in Biathlon. Xczone.tv has an unmatched pedigree in mentoring beginner and experts alike - results speak for themselves. The curriculum has been certified by the national sports governing body for coaching certification.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear view to fitness, May 1, 2006
By Bob J (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
I never thought that such a simple concept as walking with ski poles could enhance my cardio and muscular fitness, without risk of injury. The Nordic Walking DVD by xczone, gave me a clear entry into this new activity with simple progressions, anyone can pick up in minutes. When your health is concerned, this DVD is well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well thought-out and presented., May 3, 2006
By 2Fit (CO. USA) - See all my reviews
The DVD is split into two parts: Nordic walking for beginners and traditional ski walking for more serious training. The program starts by `walking" a beginner through the new activity. I found this easy to follow and replicate outdoors. The format has been well thought out. Even a long time skier will learn new tricks to improve dry-land training in the second section of the disk.

3.0 out of 5 stars For skiers and skaters, not walkers, November 9, 2007
By andrewshka "andrewshka" (Costa Mesa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This may be a good tutorial if you are a skier or skater, but the small walking portion of the DVD at the beginning lacks any verbal description of proper form and technique. For example, one should push off with the poles and then on the forward motion loosen the grip. The people doing the walking are using proper form, but there is no explanation of the kinds of subtle movements that are important to getting the best workout.

During the intro portion of the DVD, the narrator takes pains to portray using poles for walking (what I would refer to as nordic pole walking) as inferior to "Nordic Ski walking" and calls the former "newfangled".

There is also a long interview with a biathlete in the middle of the DVD that doesn't serve any tutorial purpose that I could see.

Be aware this DVD has no chapters, so there is no easy way to skip around.
