Nordic freestyle, is great exercise if you just do it for pleasure. Full body workout, go at your comfort level. Remember, these folks are racing. I took up that style of skiing at fifty and still do it.

I used to volunteer for biathlon races in my town, I've since relocated, and knew the local gun maker, he specializes in biathlon rifles, I learned that it takes a lot to do well in those races. I saw many on their way to the World Cup and Olympics while working the races, it was fun.
