Walking with poles burns up to 40% more calories than regular walking. Walking and snowshoeing with poles gives your arms and upper body a purpose.

Adding poles to your walking campaign and snowshoeing outings improve balance and stability. Poles also help to improve posture and help to radically reduce the stress to the shins, knees, hips and back. Walking poles and snowshoe poles are even helping individuals with Arthritis, MS, Parkinson's, Post Polio, Neuropathy, Scoliosis, Osteoporisis, Lumbar Stenosis to successfully get outside and walk successfully, safely and effectively - even during the coldest of winters.
