The best were people who thought I lifted weights as my arms looked so good from Pole Walking!

Dear Keenfit,

After having kids, they are now 8 and 10, there was that last 10-15 pounds left on that I never could seem to shed.

My husband suggested that we go to one of the many Keenfit Pole introduction classes that were being run in different locations around the city. We tried it out. He was a natural, & I took longer to get the hang of it.

As we both thought this is something we could do and fit into our schedule after trying it out, we each bought a pair. My big motivation came when I found out that there was a high school reunion in the summer.

I started to used my poles 3-4 times a week. As we live on Dilworth I enjoyed the grueling walk up to the water tower right at the top of the mountain. It takes me 1 hour return to do the loop. To keep me going I listen to audio books on my MP3. I can even get some of my book club books “read” this way. Doing this, combined with cutting out sweets from my diet, I lost 15 pounds the spring before the reunion.

It was a great feeling to buy new clothes in a smaller size! I was rewarded with many compliments.
