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!

Pole Walking Reduces Fibromyalgia, Knee, Hip & Back Pain

I started Pole Walking with you on April 8th at the Rose Garden. Within a very short time, maybe three weeks, walking 3 or 4 times a week, for about 30 minutes a day, I suddenly felt almost no back pain. I suffered back injury at age 7 or 8 year. My lifestyle – horses – riding – farming – heavy lifting etc. did not help it. Now at almost 75, my right knee has given up, and this apparently shortened my right leg, causing more pain in my back – pulling the right hip our of it’s normal position. My close friend Judy Doyle said “You are standing up straighter and walking more upright”. Now I have no explanation, except Pole Walking, and prayers of many.

Today my back is still far far less painful then I’ve had in 60 years. I know the Pole Walking is good for my back and, it stretches my right knee, so even while it is still going sideways, it is more flexible. I truly believe we must do all we can to stay healthy and mobile. Bunny

PS Forgot to mention I’m supposed to have heart surgery (valve replacement) sometime when my name is reached on the infamous list. After that it will be knee surgery. Best time of my life to get on with Pole Walking.

PPS Also forgot I have Fibromyalgia – and retired on medical grounds at age 53. Now I have less pain from that also.
