STEP 3 Avoid Bad Habits

‘Same-legging’ is a term Keenfit has coined to name the incorrect use of walking poles where the user moves the same arm with the same leg instead of walking the more natural movement of opposite leg to hand.
View Instructions
‘White-caning’ is a term Keenfit has coined to name the incorrect use of walking poles where the user extends the foot of the lead pole with a flicking or caulking of the wrist forward out in front of them.
View Instructions
‘Scuffling’ is a term Keenfit has coined to name the incorrect use of walking poles where the user scuffs the foot of their poles along the ground before planting & pushing off – causing premature wear of their pole feet.

Some of Instructor Carolyn’s Adventures

Hi Rosie,

After reading the newsletter, I thought I would send you this picture. My husband and I are only 99 days away from leaving for Nepal and we are walking daily to keep in shape. We use our Poles every day for either a walk around town, or a walk in the coulees. We try and head to the mountains on a regular basis for some snowshoeing and yes, we take our Poles. This past weekend we did 7.5 km snowshoeing in Waterton National Park with our Poles. I have a pair in the car and a pair by the door ready for our daily walk. Thanks, Carolyn

From another Carolyn email:
I have personally been walking a minimum of 15 km a week for the last three months and I have lost weight. Yeah. My own testimonial as to the health benefits.

Carolyn is also a Keenfit Instructor – and these are a couple of Testimonies she has up on her website:
Testimonials……
I love my Poles. I have noticed that my knees are doing much better and I haven’t had to go for my back adjustment for 5 weeks. I was going weekly. Even my neck is doing much better. I don’t like walking without them. Holly from Taber

I JUST LOVE MY WALKING POLES. I am a dragon boater and also a breast cancer survivor. Walking with the Poles is helping me to obtain a Healthy & Active Lifestyle. While walking with the Poles I am working my arms, legs, core muscles and, therefore, achieving a total body workout all in my walk. Pat from Lethbridge
