Pole walking, also known as Nordic walking or urban poling, is cross-country skiing without skis. It was developed by Olympic fitness trainers to help athletes stay in shape during the months they couldn’t ski. Because it is easy to learn, provided numerous health benefits, and is a fun way to exercise while exploring the great outdoors, it became popular throughout Europe and the US. It is a full body work out that uses 90% of your muscles. Exercise anytime, anywhere. Poles are like having a portable elliptical machine and can provide a flexible, low-cost way for busy people to stay healthy and connected. You will learn about the differences between hiking poles and Urban Poles, which can also be used for hiking, and have superior fitness benefits since they were designed by an Occupational Therapist for maximum core engagement. Walking one mile with Urban Poles is equal to 1000 abdominal contractions!Get ReadyYou can either bring your own poles* or you can rent them through Eventbrite**.Either way, please send an email to POLEWALKFL@gmail.com with the date you want to attend and if you want to rent poles. I will confirm your attendance and send additional information back to you including a liability waiver which I ask you to sign and return BEFORE the event.*DISCLAIMER: There are many types of poles and techniques for each pole type. I am certified for instructing Urban Poling's Activator and Urban Poles (2 different pole types and 2 different polling techniques). The Nordic walking technique I teach for this outdoor event is for Urban Poles only.**Pole Rental: Poles can be rented for this event. The rental fee is $25 plus tax and handling fee ($30.52 charged at Eventbrite check out). If you wish to purchase the poles after the event, your rental fee ($25) will be deducted from the purchase price.NOTE: You should ask your physician or physical therapist before starting any exercise program.What to ExpectAfter a demonstration on set up and technique, we will complete warm up stretches then will hit the Soccer Path to try out our new skills! We will then return for cool down stretches. After that, you can choose to turn in your Urban Poles or purchase them.Soccer Path (see map below): .76 miles; circles the entire soccer complex.

Urban poling (also known as Nordic walking)—think cross-country skiing without the skis—has toning, calorie-burning and posture benefits that have made it popular in Europe for decades and a new workout favorite in the US and Canada. Just grab your poles and go—no need for a pricey spandex outfit or a gym membership! A full-body pole walking workout is a proven, scientifically supported activity that delivers a wealth of benefits. From strengthening your core and burning more calories to managing pain and blood sugar, the advantages of pole walking extend far beyond what traditional walking can offer.  **About Lake Parker ParkWe will use the North Path for our class: North Path**: Enter Gate 4, 820 E. Robson Street. Path length = .8 miles. The path system's northern most loop is connected to the southern portion of Lake Parker via the bridge over the Parker Canal. The North Path circles the Park's lawn bowling & shuffleboard facility, pickleball courts, two sand volley ball courts, and corporate picnic pavilions.

It whittles your waist - Your abs tighten each time you push off with your poles. That’s the equivalent of 1,000 abdominal contractions or 1,800 each mile!2. Your knees and hips will thank you - The poles let you offload weight from your hips and knees into your upper body. You can walk further, faster or even pain-free.3. It revs up the calorie burning - Research proves it over and over again: urban poling burns up to 20 to 46% more calories than standard walking. Wow!4. It sculpts your arms and shoulders - Urban poling uses 75 percent of your muscles—especially those underused upper body muscles. Hello short sleeves!5. It helps balance your blood sugar** - The full-body urban poling workout helps keep blood sugars in a healthy range.6. You’ll straighten up and feel more confident - Your upper back muscles (the ones that pull your shoulders back) tighten each time you plant your poles and press down on the ergonomic handles.7. It’s a fun social workout - Invite your friends, your parents & your kids to enjoy all the health benefits with you.8. It’s an amazing stress buster - The smooth rhythmic action provides a distraction from everyday concerns and lifts your mood.9. You can adjust the intensity - Urban poling is an energizing activity that can be enjoyed by people of any age and athletic ability. Just press on the ergonomic handles with more or less intensity to modify your pace.10. It’s a great running alternative** - Hit the trails or your neighborhood sidewalks on your own or with a gang of friends. Urban poling offers the same year-round fresh-air experience as running—but without jarring and jostling your joints.Source: Urban Poling Inc. 2025"
