The nordic walking gymnastics is comprised of 11 movements including upper body exercise, lower body exercise, whole body exercise. The music of the nordic walking gymnastics is 4/4 beat and 5 minutes long, which was made at the same time with the development of gymnastic movements for the integrity of the physical and emotional effects. According to the movements, there are changes in the tempo (movement 1-3 is slightly slow, movement 4-8 gets faster, movement 9-11 gets slower), so every movement can be naturally connected to make the heartbeat slowly go up and go down again. The characteristics of nordic walking gymnastics are as follows. First, the gymnastics expressed various movements using a nordic pole and organized stable movements. Second, the effect of warm-up exercise was enhanced by repeated training. Third, the effect of flexibility and strength training were maximized with the nordic pole. Fourth, with the advice of a nordic walking specialist, the development of all the body parts required in the nordic walking was considered. Therefore, nordic walking gymnastics surely is the warm up that enhances the effect of nordic walking exercise and also, it can be used for the warm up and cool down exercise before and after a school or sports event, so we think that there is a possibility of the nordic walking gymnastics being a life gymnastics that every age can use.
