Crystal Cruises Fitness Enhancement

Crystal Cruises has always been at the forefront of the fitness developments that are possible on board a cruise ship. Now they are adding Nordic Walking to their facilities.

Nordic Walking is an enhanced way of improving ordinary walking. Its proponents claim that it makes ordinary walking twice as effective by using poles to exercise the upper as well as the legs. The poles not only make the walker feel they are doing less work, they also make the walker work harder! It’s an exercise for which you must be specially trained, and now Crystal is adding this system to its fitness options.

Passengers will find Nordic Walking poles available for free use on the October cruises taking place on Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity. Crystal takes fitness seriously, in addition to the Nordic Walking it has recently introduced indoor cycling classes, the Walk on Water programme which uses weighted Walkvests to improve people’s cardiovascular fitness, complimentary yoga and Pilates mat classes. Crystal ships are regularly voted as the best cruise ships in many polls and contests and the vessels are often ranked in the top 20 of all cruise ships for luxury and service.
