Urban Poling

Urban Poling is one of the best forms of fitness and way to regulate blood glucose, as it uses 90% of the muscles while providing both cardiovascular and mobility support. Urban Poling is more about the tools you use while you walk, allowing you to improve balance and confidence for walking with four points of contact. The poles also help you walk faster and further while promoting upright posture. It takes stress off painful hip and knee joints and helps to strengthen the core.
