Want to maximize your daily walk?
By Mayo Clinic staff
Wonder how to get more out of your daily walk? Try walking poles! Walking poles work your arms, shoulders, chest and upper back muscles through a full range of motion as you walk. Think of it as cross-country skiing for walkers: With one walking pole in each hand, you grip the handles and push off with each stride. The arm movement adds intensity to your aerobic workout. It also fosters balance and stability. Look for walking poles online or in a favorite sporting goods store.
