Step-by-step instruction for using poles on a wide variety of terrain.
Using poles for hiking or walking will help your knees. Yes!
No matter what you do, your knees will love poles. BUT, if you learn how to use them optimally, you will convert that knee stress to an upper body core workout.
If you don t use good form, you can transfer that energy to the fragile joints of the hands, trading one stress for another. Avoid the death grip; learn how to use your upper body for walking.
Up your attitude, improve your spinal rotation (or recover that attitude and rotation from your youthful antics). A healthy spine is a young spine and joints like to MOVE.
Award-winning Video teaches optimal pole use, top notch training enables hikers and walkers of all ages and abilities to more completely enjoy the outdoors.
Some of the many benefits of learning optimal use of poles include :
Win-Win-Win ~ Be in nature, connecting with your friends and family while getting a great workout using your whole body.
Improve Power, Balance, Control & Confidence ~ Confidence is the #1 benefit for many pole users. It cannot be taught, but it is felt almost immediately and empowers people of all ages.
Preserve Joints ~ Reduce stress on knees, ankles, hips, and spine. Optimal use helps to prevent strain on joints in the hands, arms and shoulders.
Fat Burning & Weight Loss ~ Experience faster, easier and more efficient calorie burning and energy use with poles because more muscles are recruited in less time.
Focus ~ Using poles reminds us that we re getting great exercise. The constant feedback we receive enables more consistent spinal rotation, power and attention to our bodies.
Improve Gait ~ Walking with 2 poles facilitates a more even, fluid and reciprocal gait. People preparing for or recovering from joint resurfacing or replacement can help unweight a joint.
Increase Endurance ~ Spread the work of the muscles over your entire body to experience more energy and greater endurance for your hike or walk.
Improve Posture & Cardio-Pulmonary Function ~ Walking with poles self corrects posture allowing your lungs to reach greater capacity. This benefits cardio-pulmonary function and helps to increase endurance.

Compliance ~ Sporty poles can be more empowering than a cane.
