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!

Walking Poles Help a Variety of Ailments

I am suffering from rheumatoid arthritis in my right foot which is painful and hinders mobility while walking. I am under the care of a chiropractor and I am now able to go for long walks.

The Walking Poles are helping me to maintain flexibility in my feet and are giving me stability. I have been using my Poles on a daily basis for a month and yesterday, to my amazement, we went for a two hour hike up and down Pincushion Mountain. I was a bit tired but nothing really ached. I could not have done such a long hike without the Poles. I am amazed at the possibilities of what I can now accomplish with my Poles.

My husband bought his Walking Poles a couple of weeks ago. Although he has severe asthma, the Poles are helping him with his walking and he is less out of breath and is able to walk longer distances than before. We are slowly getting back into shape and our two Bernese Mountain dogs just love the long hikes.
