How do I choose the right size of Nordic walking poles?

1. Take the poles in your hand and put on the gauntlet: when you are standing up, holding the pole with the end touching the floor, your elbow should form a right angle (90°).
2. Calculate the optimal height of your Nordic walking poles: Your height (cm) x 0.68. If you are a beginner, it is better to choose a slightly smaller pole so you can learn the right movements.
For example, if your height is 1m67, the calculation will be: 167 x 0.68 = 113.56. Adjust your Nordic walking poles to 110 cm.
