Rule Of Thumb

Rules of Thumb to Remember…

It’s quite surprising the amount of people, who put Walking Poles in their hands for the first time – take a few steps… & are upset that they’re not instantly an expert. Well, it takes a little more than just a few steps – but not much more!

‘If you can walk – you can Pole Walk.’

There is a short learning-curve to master Pole Walking. It is important to Remember:

Rule of Thumb #1


The ‘Rule of Three’
Is a term Keenfit has coined to help describe what it takes to become good at Pole Walking.

Some people [a very small percentage] get-it in 3-Steps
… we generally tease & call those people ‘show-offs’!

Most people [that’s at least 97+%] it takes them about 3-kms / 3-miles or so

Or at least 3-solid-times-out
…The odd person – very few – it may take them a couple more times
– but not often.

Check-out ‘Don’t Think’ below in Rule of Thumb #2


So don’t be too hard on yourself –
go a little further or take a little more time
.. or double check that you aren’t ‘over-thinking-it’!
One of the biggest problems people generally have
. . . is that they think-too-much.


Rule of Thumb #2


‘Don’t Think’
Is a term Keenfit has coined to help describe
what people often do when they first start out Pole Walking.

They quite often think-too-much & even try-too-hard. When you are
starting out it is important that you are patient, that you relax, have fun
& of course practice. Most of all though – after you go through the
how-to videos & t-up your first-step . . . & when you take that first step
– remember… don’t think, don’t think, don’t think!

Trust yourself & don’t over-think-it.

 


Many people ask:
“How will I know when I’ve got it ?”
Well at Keenfit we want to assure you that
You’ll – Just know it . . .soon you’ll be striding along with ease!

Beginning Learning Curves

Thanks again for the info, Rosie.

I’ve used the Poles twice on my walks and after another Walking Pole user helped me get the feet on my Poles facing the right way, it got much easier.

Still get a few funny remarks – like “where are the baskets on your ski poles?” But as you say, there are lots of other Pole Walkers, so feel I’m in good company.

One great benefit – the weight is coming off! Lovely!

Hope to meet you at the Clinic one day soon, I’m off on holidays for a couple weeks now.

Thanks again for helping me understand the world of “Pole Walking”. Think it will be well worth the effort.
