I am very overweight – do you think these walking poles will help me?
- If your doctor has said that you should be exercising (& you are trying to lose weight & get more active) – well ‘Walking’ is one of the easiest forms of exercise, we can pretty much all do, & using Walking Poles only makes it even easier & also a lot more beneficial.
- By adding Walking Poles to your walk you’ll share any load you carry or effort you make with over 90% of your major muscles instead of less than 50% of your muscle mass like you do with regular Walking.
- By using more muscles you’ll burn between 22-48% more calories.
- By using more muscles you’ll increase your cardio a minimum of 20% -without going faster of working any harder than regular walking.
- In turn, your perceived effort is less than your actual effort – making it easier to do than regular working.
- Walking poles help lessen the impact on all your lower joints by 26% – That means more than a quarter on your weight won’t transfer through
to your back, hips, knees, ankles & feet. - Like the testimonies you see during our intro videos – Keenfit has seen some amazing things happen for people who want to lose weight.
When starting out it’s important to watch all the ‘How-to’ videos & remember to listen to your body & start out slow.
