Sometimes two legs are not enough for stability on the trail. A hiking or walking stick is the traditional way to give yourself a little more stability. Walking with two poles can provide even more stability and other workout benefits.
Walking With One Pole or Staff
A single walking stick, pole, or staff can give you stability, especially on loose terrain or in crossing streams. It also can relieve stress on the joints. A staff can also give you a measure of security - attackers are more likely to go annoy somebody who doesn't have a stick.
How to Walk With Poles
Get off on the right foot with your walking poles by fully reading the instructions. Poles come with instructions, some with illustrated booklets, some with videos and it is worth looking on the web for different techniques to use your walking poles from thejetrest.com.
