I bought trekking poles to help my knees on downhill. I didn't realize that they help a lot going up the trails too! Hiking is easier with trekking poles.

LOL... "Very Passionate About Poles"

I've just kind of discovered hiking poles, thanks for the vid. Also one benefit I've heard of and liked is the fact you don't have to spend so much time looking at the ground because your hiking poles will tell you when the ground is becoming uneven so you can spend more time looking at the surroundings - great stuff!

I totally disagree.

No poles? BORING. With poles? Hiking REDISCOVERED!! THANK YOU!

watch you don't impale yourself on the downhill

@MrOregona230
Learning optimal use provides huge benefits - that's our point! On downhill, save your knees by using rectus abdominus, pectoralis & biceps muscles. The core muscles absorb stress from your knees. Strengthening the muscles is just one of the many benefits. Impaling is not something we see with even basic instruction.
The Hiking Poles DVD has downhill instruction as well as many tips for more safely and completely descending. Visit AdventureBuddies site for more info.

I'm looking to get into nordic walking as an alternate form of outdoor activity and exercise. Last winter, I purchased a pair of snowshoes with poles, similar to the type your demonstrating here, with the height adjustment and rubber tips. Will I be able to use those when walking? How important are the rubber tips? What type of shoes would you recommend? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

@58JayKay Great Cross Training! Be sure to check out the Nordic Walking page at the AdventureBuddies website as well as our new blog for tutorials and benefits comparisons. Rubber tips are essential. See blog for shoe recommendations. Not sure about the poles you have. Probably you can use them but possibly not optimally. If you're going to do an activity, having optimal gear (see blog for what this means) can significantly improve your performance & benefits. Enjoy!

I have chronic ankle instability, do you have other clients who hike with my condition?

I've taught people with Parkinson's, MS, TKR, PF, PN, balance issues, etc. My suggestion is to get the DVD (available on my website: AdventureBuddies. NET). For $14.95 you can learn everything you need about using poles optimally. Then, after watching, feel free to contact me directly via my website and I'll be happy to answer your specific questions. Happy Hiking and Good Luck!
