Balance Walking Poles

Balance Walking Poles are a good choice for Nordic walking. The adjustable length allows you to share them with friends and to store them easier. The trigger-release strap keeps them with you when you walk but allows you to easily leave them behind for stops. For extra stability, for relief of strain on your hips, knees, and ankles, and for extra calorie burn, these poles are a good fitness tool.

Walking poles can be used to get a better walking workout while relieving stress on the hips, knees and ankles. These poles can be used with the Nordic walking or exerstriding technique to burn more calories per mile.

The poles have a rubber foot for use on pavement, which can be removed for use on trails or soft surfaces to reveal the tungsten tip.

The pole height is adjustable with a twist. Walkers may want to experiment with different lengths or adjust them for uphill or downhill.

Nordic walking poles always have a strap or half glove to allow a light grip and a release on the back stroke. The Balance Walking strap is a comfortable half glove that adjusts with velcro. It has a trigger release so you can easily click and leave your poles behind when you stop to take photos, etc.

The poles are made of lightweight aluminum. The poles come with a storage bag.

Through 2011, a special edition pink pole set is available to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity.
