Longstrength for Nordic Walking
Nordic Walking by definition is “Panaerobic”…some estimate that 90% of one’s musculature is involved. Whatever the amount Dr. Schwartz defined it as basically any movement activating all 4 limbs and as much muscle as possible. It’s a nice alternate day exercise for me – I find it works well doing HeavyHands one day and this …

Nordic Walking Roller Poles

Poll: If Pan-X could be manufactured in the near future (2016) along with an instruction manual and DVD instructional, possibly even with Dr. Schwartz performing Pan-X, would you consider purchasing a Pan-X?

This involves a heavier but submaximal squatting weight. Shouldering the weight, the athlete walks 10 …
More on the Walk and Squat
A while back I wrote about discovering that Dr. Schwartz would (when he chose) squat every 10 paces while walking and taking his handweights overhead (“Level 3” or “Level 3.5” in “HeavyHands speak). Previously I’d done sets of 20 squats while walking with HeavyHands, but always wondered how effective it was. I became fascinated with …
HeavyHands Or Nordic Walking?
As big fans of HeavyHands know, one of Dr. Schwartz’ early inspirations (besides a torn hamstring from running) was CROSS COUNTRY SKIING. The “Panaerobic” action of all limbs moving simultaneously against resistance gave cross country skiiers HUGE abilities to process oxygen … far more than other athletes. Nordic Walking is the “cousin” of cross country skiing …

Though Dr. Schwartz wrote two books highlighting many different techniques for obtaining the variety needed to keep HeavyHands interesting mentally while providing a full body workout, sometimes other …
