Pole walking increases your heart and cardio rate by 20%, Calorie burn by up to 46%, improves balance and posture, and strengthens core. Walking with poles uses over 90% of your major muscle
groups. The poles help distribute weight and lessen the load with which we hit the ground, making a big difference for those with back, hip, knee, ankle or feet problems. Pole walking is effective: 30 minutes of pole walking equals 50 minutes of regular walking, making it a perfect fit for a busy lifestyle. “Come take a walk with us!”
