Also, when you walk using the “Rutlin Technique” combined with our patented, ergonomically designed grips, you’ll improve your posture while reducing the impact on your lower joints. This means less knee and hip pain while walking!
But don’t think that Urban Poling is reserved only for those who are in pain or out of shape. Urban Poles have been used to complete marathons, have been to Everest Basecamp as well as to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa!
That’s because Urban Poles give you a complete, full-body workout, including:
- 1800 abdominal contractions (or “crunches”) per mile walked
- 900 lateral muscle contractions (upper back)
- Tricep & deltoid (shoulder) resistance training
- Up to 20% more oxygenation of your blood
So whether you’re already in great shape and want to take your walking workouts to the next level or if you’ve been inactive for a prolonged period of time and are looking for a great way to jump-start your health & fitness, Urban Poling is the perfect exercise for you!
High Quality, Ergonomic Design.
High-quality matters and our poles are the very best. Made from airplane grade aluminum and the highest quality rubber, you’ll love our extremely long lasting, quieter and vibration-free poles.
Not only that, but our poles include the ONLY handle on the market that’s ergonomically designed!
Like any kind of fitness activity, top quality gear can make a difference to your safety, comfort and performance.
Our ergonomic handles effectively target the core muscles and absorb shock and vibrations when poling on urban surfaces.
Additionally we provide you with the only strapless handle (to lower the potential risk of wrist and thumb injuries and optimize comfort).
Our strapless handle prevents injury to the wrist and thumb in the event of a fall, effectively removing the risk of “skier’s thumb” (a common side-effect of falling with poles that rely on straps).
As well, your wrist is not subject to repetitive strain through constant flexion and contraction as is the case with a strapped handle design. Instead, your wrist maintains the same position throughout the swing, allowing you to propel yourself forward with as much (or as little) downward pressure you like.
