“I include Urban poling in my high school phys. ed. program as a fun and easier alternative to running. The kids commented they were lucky to have a phys. ed teacher who introduced them to new activities!"

"I had been a certified fitness instructor for 10 years when, little by little, the active lifestyle I loved came to a standstill due to osteoarthritis. Then I discovered Urban poling. And to my amazement, I could walk for longer periods of time and with significantly less discomfort using the poles. This activity is fun and easy to learn, and I purchased the fitness poles on the spot. I started out with short walks, increasing my time and distance almost every weekend. I noticed a change in my posture and in the strength of my core muscles as well as the muscles of my arms and legs as I became more adapted to using the poles. In June 2009, I poled my way through a 10K fundraiser."

"I have used lots of different Nordic walking poles on the market. I can honestly say there is no comparison to the Urban Poling brand poles in terms of performance, quality and safety."
