Pole Walking for Fitness
Looking to Improve Your Fitness?
Then Urban Pole Walking is for you!
What is Urban Pole Walking? Low Impact Activity to Improve Fitness.
Urban pole walking is a low-impact exercise that involves the use of specially designed poles, and provides the highest benefits for health, wellness and fitness for people of all ages and fitness levels.
Anyone can become an Urban pole walker and instantly experience the benefits of poling. Walking has been proven and validated through many scientific and clinical research studies to be a catalyst in promotion of improving your health, and physical activity.
Normal walking utilizes muscles in the lower half of the body while pole walking adds the use of your upper body muscles, your arms, back, shoulders and neck. Pole walking with Urban Poles turns your walk into a whole-body activity.
