To be from Norwegian descent. Or as Wikapedia put it....
The Nordic race was thought to be prevalent in northern Europe, especially, but not exclusively, among speakers of the Germanic languages, and was characterized by tall stature, long head- and facial form, straight and fine blond, red, or light brown hair, and blue, grey or green eyes. The Alpine race was thought to predominate in central Europe, and was said to be characterized by short stature and comparatively round head. The Mediterranean race was thought to be prevalent in southern Europe and, sometimes, parts of North Africa, and was said to be characterised by dark hair, dark eyes, swarthy complexion, moderate-to-short stature, and long shape of skull.

The Nordic countries, sometimes also the Nordic region (or incorrectly Scandinavia), comprise a region in Northern Europe consisting of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The region's five nation-states and three autonomous regions share some common history as well as some common traits in their respective societies, such as political systems. The Nordic countries have a combined population of about 24 million.

Like the exercise machine?
No- I'm making a lame joke. To be "Nordic" means to be related (or look related) to the Scandinavian countries of North Western Europe-- Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Iceland and Finland are sometimes included in this description.
