Walking sticks can help improve your posture putting you in a more upright position. Not only does this help your posture, it takes a lot of unnecessary pressure off your knees. Plus, walking sticks also provide an upper body and lower body workout. Obviously before taking up walking or other exercise be sure to consult your healthcare professional.
Walking sticks or poles are a wonderful addition to a low-intensity exercise routine. And yes, it can help improve mood and confidence. This activity can be extremely beneficial for active seniors, arthritic users, patients with cardiac health concerns, and people with diabetes. Your abs will tighten each time you push off with your poles and helps burn calories. It’s a fun social workout. Make a “thing” out of it and invite your friends to enjoy all the health benefits with you. What a great way to promote social interaction.
Some physicians agree that a walking stick is actually better than a cane. Many people have shoulder problems from leaning on a cane. A walking stick doesn’t put pressure on the shoulder but enables the bicep muscle to hold the body up. Also, many people using a cane bend forward and take very short steps. The walking stick encourages the walker to stand straighter, have better posture, and walk with a more natural stride.
Preparing to walk
Make sure your healthcare professional guides you along. You need to know if there are any exercises you should not do. Could any previous health problem, injury or even medications you take be a problem? First and foremost, make sure you wear correct and properly fitting shoes and clothing for walking and stay hydrated.
