I am now an avid Nordic ski walker and I am preaching to all those I meet! I have recently lost 85 pounds. I have osteoarthritis in my hands, feet, and knees, and a history of chronic trochanteric bursitis in my left hip. I couldn't increase my mileage and I couldn’t jog. I tried walking with weights. Ugh! Then I learned about Nordic ski walking when I was browsing in the Lands' End catalog. I googled on ski walking and found you. I was hooked after my first walk. I've been walking at least 5 days a week for 2-3 miles a day. I am doing great! You can see the muscle development in my arms. And my waist is disappearing.
I've gotten several of the physical therapists at my hospital hooked. My mother has severe osteoarthitis and osteoporosis and is recovering from a hip fracture. I just ordered her a set for Christmas. This is a great idea for people with arthritis, osteoporosis, and balance problems. My plan is to start up a Nordic ski walking club next spring as part of our Women's Wellness program.
Thanks. Keep working on getting the word out. This is a form of exercise that anyone can do.

Endorsement from Dr. Christiane Northrup:
My Nordic Ski Walking poles have been a terrific addition to my regular exercise program. I love the way they incorporate my upper body during a walk, thus giving me more strength-training and calorie burning for the time spent. I highly recommend them to everyone!

Former Marathon Runner:
I took the Nordic Ski Walking poles to NYC and walked from 51st/6th past Rockerfeller Center, 5th Ave and walked down Park Ave. With a spinal fusion from C5 down to S5 (yes, my near entire spine is fused after 120deg scoliosis and years of running), my hips are a little messed up, I lean forward like the tower of Pisa and my stride length is ridiculously short.
With these poles, I walk vertical without the forward tilt that messes up my hips, I walk with a normal stride length for the first time in probably a decade and I have a regular bounce in my step. Thank you thank you for these wonderful Nordic Ski Walking poles. Thank you, if it weren't for the poles, I wouldn't be able to walk. Thank you,

Nordic Walking The Mighty Mackinaw Bridge:
Hello Pete...... my poles and I walked the Mighty Mackinaw Bridge....we did it in 1 hour, 14 minutes despite a somewhat slow, people-to-people start. I saw several other poles including 2 sets of yours! Of course I slowed down as I passed, and we complimented each other on our Nordic Ski Walkers. I couldn't be walking without them, Pete...thanks so much!

Nordic Walking Poles Turbo Charge Walking Campaign:
Thanks Pete,
I got the Nordic Walking Poles because I love to walk. They will help me get more out of walking. They make
sense, especially if they allow me to walk without slouching over.
A friend has lost 30-40 pounds and she advised me with your
brand...so I didn't even shop other brands.
Thanks,
Beth

Our Nordic Walking Poles Are Safer, Lighter And More Durable Than Adjustable/Telescoping/Collapsible Poles:
Pete - I am super pleased with your nordic ski walking poles. I read your comments about "adjustable" poles and you are so right! I purchased a pair of adjustable walking poles less than a month ago from a large retail chain store. The adjustable poles would not stay locked!
Have a good day,
Marilynn
