It’s fun and easy to learn and it’s a growing fitness trend that promises to improve posture, while giving you a workout.

We’re turning into a poster-family for Urban Poling! Dad has lost 20 lbs and my 74-year-old mom continues to improve her overall fitness, she seems much younger than a few years ago.

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
All scientifically proven by our independent, evidence-based research! (Opens in a new window)
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!
Urban Poles are made with the highest quality materials and are backed by our 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
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.
Which Urban Poles Are Right For YOU?
Our selection of adjustable 2-section poles collapse down to 31′ (inches) for travel and storage. Extended – this is ideal for individuals between 128cm to 188cm (4 ’2″ to 6 ’2″) in height. All our poles are light weight (280 grams or 0.6 lbs) and very durable.
If you are looking for the perfect travel companion, can we suggest our NEW 3-Section Adventure Series. The same great quality and performance as our 2 section poles but 20% shorter - 25.5′ (inches) in travel length.

Tora Cameron tells her clients what to look for in a good walking pole, stressing the need for people to feel comfortable with their poles. Tora will demonstrate both the Urban Poling poles and poles with strapped handles, as many people are familiar with the European-style Nordic walking pole.
“But,” says Tora, “more than nine out of 10 people like the Urban Poling handles so much that they won’t even bother trying anything else.”
The comfort of the ergonomic handles, Tora reports, is the big seller among her clientele. Her clients also appreciate the quality of the Urban Poling rubber tips.
“They are bigger than most feet, and they are just soft enough that they grip well on the ground, but hard enough that they don’t wear out too fast.”
