We use poles 6 days a week for 3+ hours per day and love it!
i love aussie! I’m a little tore dwn, where can i get a lesson? can u come to LA? cheers
Is this only done on level ground? My hometown is a bit hilly.
Great concise explanation. The gal in the back marching back and forth through the frame is hilarious!
Will be ordering my first set of walking poles soon. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for this video! I was provided the wrong information when buying my first hiking poles and one ended up bent after just a couple months and then after two more backpacking trips I couldn’t adjust them anymore. Your video taught me that the bottom part needs to be adjusted to the maximum then the top part gets adjusted to what you need. The worker had told me to make them extended evenly when I was buying them, that’s what led to them breaking I believe.
Best choosing a pole guide I have seen yet. The short story seems to be, avoid cheap if you can.
Lots of food for thought on the pro versus con features when selecting ones hiking, walking and/or trekking pole that one has chosen to utilize on ones journey; as I can definitely see now how one might choose to bring along two different trekking and/or hiking(strap/sleeve) types of poles; lots to consider and think about when one is thinking about planning ones hike every day on the trails one intends to traverse.
Disagree about height, but then I am a veteran x-c skier. The adjustment she recommends is for downhill skiing. Even when downhilling, I used racing-length pokes (much longer).
the first way seemed like the poles were moving her feet.
I’ve been hiking 70 years and never heard of hiking with these ski poles. WTH? 😉
Such acting and dialogue! Pity u missed the Oscars:)
The advice on hand position is very interesting.
This is my biggest fear hiking. Getting schooled by experienced hikers on everything I’m doing wrong.
The trail looks too flat n smooth, what are the benefits then? Dont use them cut weight better?
Omg, THIS IS A LIFESAVER! I want to learn about how to become more fit and this has improved me… THANK YOU
For a video that was made in 2014, very professional, great explanation and you should do more videos
Thank you! Sc. walking is the greatest thing in rehab I’ve ever known.
Great information, Margaret. My urban poles were stolen a few weeks ago (when I left them leaning against a tree for 20 minutes, so I made the theft easy!). I too live in Ottawa, and my hands killed me last winter, which was the first winter I was always using the poles when I walked my dog. I had to wear hot pockets when it was cold or the pain was unbearable, even with multiple pairs of woolen mitts. I’m assuming this is because I used to put my hands in my pockets when I was out with the dog, and I can’t do that when holding on to the urban poles. I need to replace my poles, and I’m thinking now that winter warmth is my top priority. Would you suggest the poles with detachable straps that can be snapped on as the best option for use in a cold winter? My urban poles had no straps, and a woman from the company said that was to avoid injury if you fell or caught the poles on something. Do you have a comment or suggestion? Thank you!
I enjoyed watching and learning from this video!!! Thanks, ladies!!
I just ordered a set of poles online, and am anxious to try them out. I live in rural Alberta so cold hands is always a problem for me as well. Your guide has covered the basics, as I had questions about adjustments and how to use them. I’m looking forward to getting a better workout when I walk. Thank you.
I love this! I am a master fitness trainer in the US and use this to help people with Parkinson’s. Gait is a HUGE issue and I have advocated using poles before-BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT AND I LEARNED A BUNCH! Thank you for making this video-I will be sharing on my PD resource page under my name and will be adding it to my “arsenal” of exercises to use with the groups with which I work!
