Walking with poles reduces impact on your knee joints, improves core strengthening, improves posture and helps to promote a functional gait pattern.  There are over 58 research studies on the benefits of walking poles. A recent study found that using walking poles increased stability, balance and posture.

The proper use of walking poles gives you a boost with every step. Build core strength and burn 40% more calories just going for a walk! You will become stronger and walk safer.
