We look at how to walk efficiently with poles by focusing on body posture, techniques for swinging and planting poles, and maximising forward movement.
We cover the ideal body position, proper use of straps, and breaking the process into two stages: dragging the poles, then lifting and planting them correctly. You will learn how to apply pressure to the poles to drive yourself forward, adapt techniques for different terrains, and avoid common mistakes like bending arms or using inefficient arm-leg coordination.
