I have been pole walking for about four months now, and it has significantly strengthened the muscles around my partially severed bicep tendons in my upper right arm. It has made me a better hockey player, giving me improved upper body strength and better puck control.

I was on diabetes and blood pressure medication for years. After three months my doctor told me that my blood pressure and insulin levels were back to normal, and needed no medication. I lost about 10 pounds, feel stronger and mentally in good health. It changed my life!

NPW invites us to witness the miracle of the changes of each season. I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed the change of season as much as I have since NPW. With the stability of the poles I feel free to look around and take it all in. It truly is a joy.

I’m 68 and I like that I don’t have to concentrate on both my feet and my hands when I walk. I have a fear of falling and breaking a bone or getting a serious injury, but with the poles I gained confidence that they would help prevent me from falling.

Nordic Pole Walking brought me back to life. My depression has lifted and I’ve finally found a sport I can enjoy. I’m so grateful.

I found the trick is to learn the subtle nuances to pole with the right technique which makes all the difference in the benefits gained. I quickly got over feeling self conscious and started to really have fun. I love the focused purpose it gives to my weekly walks now!
