In calculating the correct pole length for exercising the simple formula of using one's own height multiplied by 0.68 is recommended. Pole lengths are graded in 5 cm intervals, so the calculated ideal length should be rounded off to the nearest 5 cm. The rule of thumb is that a Nordic Walker’s elbow should be at approximately a 90° angle when held by the grip with the tip on the ground.
