Walking Poles are practical and make sense! Trekking and Nordic Walking poles reduce the load on the joints of the lower extremities, strengthen the upper body, keep the body straight for more volume of your lungs and thus more stamina, and give support for added balance. Telescopic poles with variable length adjustment can be adapted to all heights, to all strides, and to all sorts of terrain. When adjusted to their shortest lengththey can be stored very easily to your backpack.
