The Urban Poling Club started in May of 2022. Better known as Nordic Walking,
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. Walking with poles aids in trimming the waistline and increasing your endurance and stamina. Excellent for those recovering from surgery or looking to get in better shape for pending proce dures. In interested in learning more or registering for a clinic please contact Anne @ 306-621-8926 or email urbanpoling club@gmail.com “Come take a walk with us!”
