How have our poles made a difference for you?

With Urban Poling / Nordic Walking Community – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

So many reasons to

Curious about the walking pole workout? Urban poling (also known as Nordic walking)—think
cross-country skiing without the skis—has toning, calorie-burning and posture benefits that have
made it popular in Europe for decades and a new workout favourite in Canada. Just grab your poles
and go. No need for a pricey outfit or a fancy gym membership!

HERE ARE 10 MORE REASONS TO TRY IT:

1) It whittles your waist - Your abs tighten each time you push
off with your poles. (That’s the equivalent of 1,000 abdominal
crunches every kilometre or 1,800 each mile.)

2) It revs up calorie burning - Research proves it: urban
poling burns up to 46% more calories than standard walking.
It sculpts your arms and shoulders - It uses 90 percent of
your muscles.

3) It sculpts your arms and shoulders - It uses 90 percent of
your muscles.

4) It helps balance your blood sugar - The full-body workout
helps keep blood sugars in a healthy range.

5) You’ll straighten up and feel more confident - Your upper
back muscles (that pull your shoulders back) tighten each
time you plant your poles and press on the handles.

6) t’s a fun social workout - Invite friends and family
members to enjoy all the health benefits with you.

7) Say good-bye to slouchy posture - Your back and
arms strenthen with each arm swing. Taller posture is
built right into the workout.

8) You can adjust the intensity - It’s is an energizing activity that
can be enjoyed by people of any age and athletic ability. Move
faster or slower to modify the intensity.

9) It’s a great running alternative - Urban poling offers the same
fresh-air experience as running but without jarring and jostling
your joints.

10) Your knees and hips will thank you - The poles let you
offload weight from your hips and knees into your upper
body. You can walk further, faster or even pain-free.
