Walk Description:

It is very easy to slip into bad habits when you have been walking a while. 

Or you might be someone who has only been pole walking for a few weeks and feel you have now got to the point where you want to perfect your technique. 

It is good to check your technique from time to time as it affects the benefits you get from walking with poles. Walking with good technique is not just something that looks good. It assists your posture, improves your speed, helps you walk up hills with ease and protects your joints. 

Do you know you have picked up bad habits? 

Are you someone who feels they are struggling with the pace, getting up hills and possible only booking the easier walks for those reasons? 

Do you feel you are losing your fitness? 

Are you new to walking with poles and only attended the single Power of Poles Session?

If you have said ‘yes’ to any of the questions, I strongly recommend you book a ‘Check Tour Tech’ session.
