Compared to regular walking, Nordic walking (also called pole walking) involves applying force to the poles with each stride. Nordic walkers use more of their entire body (with greater intensity) and receive fitness building stimulation not present in normal walking for the chest, lats, triceps, biceps, shoulder, abdominals, spinal and other core muscles that may result in significant increases in heart rate at a given pace[4]. Nordic walking can produce up to a 46% increase in energy consumption compared to walking without poles.[5][6] It also has been demonstrated to increase upper body muscle endurance by 38% in just twelve weeks.[7]
To be honest, I am a fitness junkie. I tried everything you can imagine, almost all sports but what definetely shapes your body is weight training.
I go 4 times in the week to Jiu Jitsu training. Every friday I go swimming for 2 hours. And I don't know if that counts as work-out but when I have free time I go often for a walk in the forest to relax.
I am just commuting (velo) home-work-home, 5days/week/4 seasons (12mi/18km x 2 = 24mi/36km daily = about 5,000+mi/8,000+km/year).
I do put my millage here: http://www.worldcommute.com/ (Group with name "Just Commuters"). In Dallas, TX and Detroit, MI I did it not every day, but in Orlando, FL I do it each working day (5days/week). It's OK for me, I do not need any extra physical activity and I am extremely recommend it for everyone who take time in the car or public transportation. At least it's a big fun.
