The weather was lovely for my first walk with the new Nordic walking poles. I had very little adjustment and felt secure for the two mile walk in the sun. They made me feel very secure especially up and down the 3 hills . If you’ve skied, you’ll be a pro in no time!
I admit it took about 5 minutes to think about best pole placement, but I realized very soon my iffy knee felt better. With 3 joint replacements, I believe these poles will help be avoid a second knee surgery. Not only that I can protect myself from Big Goldfoot or Maga-election-deniers!
As you knock on doors for your favorite BLUE 💙🇺🇸💙candidates, remember that walking poles serve lots of purposes. Be creative but be safe and get the vote out.
Thanks for all your comments after I fell on my patio flat on the right side of my face 2 Sundays ago. I’ve healed 99% though the nose is last! Now my hope is to stick with the Nordic walking poles so my husband doesn’t freak out again!
A wee bonus from 2014 🇳🇴

We walked 500 miles on the Camino Francés last fall—I would NEVER have attempted it without trekking poles. They are one’s 3rd and 4th feet and provide balance and support every step of the way. Even on level terrain, they relieve the stress on one’s knees and feet, and they also provide a decent upper-body workout. I’m 68; my husband is 70.
Congratulations Diane! I am so glad they helped. I need to order a set. There are so many different "Nordic Walking Poles" on Amazon. I am not sure which one to order!
