Michigan Company’s Nordic Walking Poles Make the Cover of TOPS NEWS Nov. 2010 Magazine

Glen Arbor, MI, November 25, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The SWIX VIP Nordic Walking Poles were designed by Pete Edwards the owner/founder of the American Nordic Walking System and www.Skiwalking.com – headquartered in Glen Arbor, Michigan. The distinctive Norwegian blue VIP Nordic Walking Poles are made exclusively for Edwards’ company by SWIX of Norway (the world leader in ski racing poles and ski wax).

Edwards has been coaching runners and skiers for over 25 years. He has applied his knowledge of sports fitness and biomechanics into his Nordic Ski Walking business. With 100% positive customer satisfaction ratings he is recognized for offering quality products and supplying helpful educational information. Edwards claims that 100% positive customer satisfaction ratings would be impossible if he promoted inferior 2-piece and 3-piece collapsible poles. Edwards ships his specialized one-piece Nordic walking poles worldwide.

According to Nick Mahood, SWIX USA Nordic Walking Director, "Pete Edwards, The American Nordic Walking System and Skiwalking.com's owner/founder, has single handedly introduced thousands of Americans to Nordic Walking through his enthusiastic Nordic Walking clinics! I have no doubt that Edwards is the #1 retailer of Nordic Walking Poles in the USA! You can quote me on that!"
