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.

Depression Lifted, Knee Pain Reduced & now have Huge amounts of Energy!

First I’ll start with a bit of personal history. I am 50 year old female and have been active all my life. Competitive sports I played them all. Women’s fastball was my favorite sport. I was a cashier in a very busy grocery store so many long hours on my feet. The twisting on your body running a till does take its toll after many years. I loved to run but was finding it harder and harder on my body, knees especially. I had an old baseball knee injury that had flared up again. I was getting pretty depressed not being able to be as active as I would like. I could no longer run so I was walking a lot but I found it rather boring. I would see this lady that always shows up at Mission Creek Park to teach how to Pole Walk?

Hmmmm, I talked a friend into coming and we had a blast but learned some amazing results could be reach by using Poles while you were walking. I took another FREE Pole Walking Clinic and purchased my first set of poles in April.

I could feel the difference within the first week. My arms were tightening up; I could feel my upper body also tighten. I was not sore, there was less impact on my knees and I could go a lot further. I had huge amounts of energy. I felt like I was getting the exercise I needed and loving life again.

I had run into Sheri, The Pole Lady from the park, & had inquired if she knew of anyone who would like to meet regularly to Pole Walk and she suggested that I become an Instructor for Keenfit.  I’ve never looked back and it has been about a year and a half.

I have 3 free Walking Clubs every week that do very well. I have also enjoyed Instructing many Clinics. I love showing people the benefits of the Poles and even more so I love my Walking Clubs. I’ve seen many friendships grow and have found that if they know you are going to show up, they make a commitment to come also.

I am Walking my Path and I invite you to come join me also.
