Why we know this works!
We love these Urban Poles because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we are always hunting for exercise people will actually keep doing. Do walking poles really turn a walk into a workout? Yes: pushing off through the poles brings your arms, core, and back into every step, so you burn more calories and stand taller than you would walking empty handed. The patented CoreGrip handle keeps your wrist in a neutral position, and the wide ledge design replaces a strap so your hand releases easily instead of getting caught in a fall.
They are a great fit for able-bodied walkers, and they let you exercise right alongside a spouse or parent who uses the Activator Poles for Parkinson's or hip replacement recovery. These are fitness poles, not support poles: if you need to lean weight on them for balance, choose the Activator Poles with their bell-shaped stability tips, and check the 225 pound user weight limit first.
