Walking with Poles
Poles will add more to your posture and upper body strength during walking
​
Do you love walking, but feel your shoulders, arms, and trunk are not getting a workout?
​
Then walking with poles may just be the exercise for you.
Adding poles to your walking can increase your upper body workout and energy expenditure.
​
I have applied my breast cancer rehab skills to develop targeted training and pole selection that will suit the physical challenges faced by people after breast cancer.
​
Training ensures that you learn to use:
-
easiest hand grip
-
best arm swing
-
push thru to strengthen shoulders and upper back
-
best shoulder position
-
pole type to suit your balance
​
​
Your training will take about 3 sessions.
Then practice practice practice to improve your technique.
