[FRIAM] Walking/Trecking poles

[Owen Densmore]

I've heard that walking with poles has several advantages .. stability in
muddy/snowy conditions as well as a better exercise than simply walking.

Have any of us tried this?  What's the difference between the "trecking"
poles and exercise vs the "walking" ones?

My main interest is to have a good exercise that I can just walk out the
front door and do it, summer and winter .. without having to drive to the
gym/pool.

Sorry that I know nothing about poles, but my preferred exercise these days
is riding my bike. You can make it as hard as you want--or as easy.  I love
the feeling of just gliding along almost effortlessly. But I still come
back having done a fair amount of work.

Sorry I can’t answer your question about the difference between walking and 
trekking poles, but we used poles for both hands (two-handed poles? poles for 
both hands?) as we toured Machu Picchu. They saved me. That site has staircases 
up and down thousands of feet, no bannisters, no nothin. Joe uses his poles for 
hiking around Santa Fe trails, and finds them stabilizing (he was a skier, so 
his sense of balance is very good, but he still uses the poles gladly on the 
trail since he usually hikes solo).

We both got ours at REI in the Railyard. Ours are adjustable in height, which 
is useful for packing. Once they’re out and we’re using them, not so important, 
though it’s nice to have them at just the right height for optimal walking.
