The little yellow strap clip doesn't really 'click' safely into the hole, thereby the wrist strap comes right out (sometimes when you don't want it to. Just held in the socket by a hair width clip. You must have good gripping hands to loosen andor re-snuggen the poles after adjustment..impossible if hands a bit sweaty....should have used a clip mechanism.
Excellent video thank you very much. I have Parkinson’s and I’ve been prescribed to do Nordic pole walking. I’ve been looking at videos for over six months and this is the best one to explain in detail what I need to be doing and what I shouldn’t be doing. Again, thanks this is greatly added to my quality of life
Hello there I walked nordic walking 20 years before I walked barefoot since 5 years. Now I walk both together. Nordic walking corrected my body position. I walk now with straight back. Great from Albania🍀🏔🦶
On a 45m walk i used poles. Good help up hill, on flat ground, helps keep up pace. Hard on the hands between thumb and index finger. Saves approx 2-5% (imo) energy and you arrive less tired. Eventually I abandoned the poles because of the pain in the hands.
Don’t grip the handles too tightly, just lightly hold the pole with your thumb and forefinger. The straps around your wrists will keep the poles in place.
This was an excellent video. I have not seen any examination of studies with regard to the type of poles used until this. My wife and I use Black Diamond hiking poles with straps like conventional cross-country ski poles and boot tips from Urban Poling. They probably weight a bit more than conventional Nordic walking poles but they are very strong and high quality. A pair of the boot tips, if they are of good quality, will last a couple of months. Some poor quality boot tips have lasted less than one 10 to 15km walk. My wife has RA and her hands are very damaged by the disease. When we started nordic walking she was having trouble lifting a tea cup and now, a few years later, she can pick up a gallon jug of milk and swing it around over her head! We are seniors but have nordic walked approximately 4000km. One week we managed to break 100km but the pandemic stopped us for nearly two years. During that time we used an elliptical trainer but even it didn't compare to nordic walking. Now we are back to nordic walking and loving it! Thank you for an inspiring video! It made us want to go today after 8km yesterday. Needless to say, we highly recommend Nordic walking. I haven't yet used them to fight off a wild animal but we have run into a few bears and cougars to make our walks interesting!
I notice the woman HOLDing onto her poles as she walked up to the camera in the very beginning. I just saw another "how to" video that said DO NOT have a grasp on the poles. I'm sure when I watch 5 I'll see 5 different contradictions. :-(
no no no.....thats not how you want to walk.....you look like a robot with a stick in its back side.....you wanna walk like your strutting to a song that only you can hear.....walk with style...not like a rectally incumbered robot.
Hand should sit on the fabric for better support, put the hand through, fasten the strip and turn the hand around so the fabric supports hand from below.
Have had hip replacements and have had three toes removed off one foot. I am walking with crutches at the moment but notice my back bends. Can these poles help. Are they easy to use.Can they be used on roads and paths as well as grass
This was helpful. I was placing my poles very far forward like I was nordic skiing (leaning forward a bit) but I see I need to stand up straight a lot more when walking.
I'm a Kiwi living in Thailand. I'm experimenting with bamboo. Its light and strong and basically inexpensive. I can cut it to suit my requirements. The locals are a bit gob smacked and surprised and my Thai wife prefers there is not dragging of poles along the road so all I need is a few rubber stoppers and that should be fixed.
Mike you won’t get a true Nordic experience without the straps of a quality product. Excel poles were designed for Olympic athletes. Fixed poles are superior than these extension poles since they are custom measured to your body height and elbow height parallel at a 90 degree from ground kinda like you carrying a tray. But any exercise is better than lying on your bamboo couch. Nordic is far better using 90% of your core muscles compared to 40% of normal walking.
I'm having issues with the wrist straps on the Nordixx Walker. I removed the straps to wash them bc they got really sweaty but I can't figure out how to put them back together. You showed how to work with the traveler and adjust the wrist strap, removing it and replacing it, but didn't touch on the former. I really need some help and can't find any online anywhere. Are there any directions for working with the straps on the Walker poles? I notice theres a little loop coming out the top and since taking them apart, I can't get them back in place and adjustable. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Second Chance. I noticed you walked putting your poles in front of you. I like using poles to walk, but it works better doing it like it says here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fFtyyEpHtZM.html I love following your journey ~ I started following people on the PCT last year when our son finished it in the Class of 2018. What an experience!
