Sheri Simson: Walking poles not only make walking more beneficial but the action take less effort to use and is easier on our body's, what happens is when we walk with out poles we use less than 50% of our major muscles. When we use poles we engage over 90%. Helping us to impact the ground with less force 26% less force actually and that 26% makes a huge difference for any body with back, hip, knee ankle or feet challenges.

Not to much when we use poles we naturally align our spine and strengthen our core helping us to sit and stand taller. When we use poles we increase our cardio up to 20% and our calorie burn up to 48% without going any faster or any harder, well more could you want, except for the fact that you can do it in less time 30 minutes of pole walking is equivalent of 50 minutes or regular walking. Pole walking truly is one of the most beneficial and rewarding activities that you'll ever do.
