Walking Pole Wellness At Owen Sound Health Fair On Saturday, March 20th, 2010 I set up a booth at the Owen Sound Health Fair. There was a large turnout to this popular annual event and Ann was busy the entire time demonstrating the proper use of the walking poles.

Walking poles are suitable for people of all ages who are interested in low impact exercising.
Hello! My name is Ann Thomas and I’d like to welcome you to my web site, Walking Pole Wellness. This page is a work in progress. Soon you’ll find training articles and videos about walking poles (which are also known as Nordic walking poles and urban poles). Walking poles are easy to use and offer a low impact exercise option for people of all ages. Think of cross country skiing without the skis and snow. (click here for parts two and three of The Health Link interview) Because you’re using both your upper and lower body, exercising with walking poles targets more muscles than regular walking. When you use your walking poles, you’ll get 25% more of a cardiovascular workout and burn between 20 and 46% more calories than you do with regular walking. You’ll also discover they help to reduce stress on your spine, hips and knees. And, they’ll improve your strength and endurance as well as improve your flexibility leaving you with a feeling of increased energy and well being. I use, endorse and distribute Urban Poling brand Nordic walking poles. They’re well designed with many unique features.
