Exerstrider by Tom Rutlin OS2 Blue 2-Piece telescoping Total Body Walking Poles

I love using these - I am a health practitioner and spotted someone using them in NYC Bloomingdale’s. The gentleman was exiting the escalator- I was impressed- later a patient of mine told me that her spouse uses them and gets a great workout - So I purchased them and often recommended them to my patients- Great exercise, great for balance Love it!!

Amazing walking aid for the aging or those undergoing physical therapy. The bilateral support encourages straighter posture and consistent balance. The almost instant security promotes a desire to take longer straighter steps. The "cross crawl" activity promotes coordination and brain recovery, unavailable while using a cane , walker, or slow unassisted walking, especially if one is experiencing balance difficulties. These should be a major part of all physical therapy facilities, and oddly they are not. The advertising is primarily aimed toward promoting exercise efficiency for the able bodied!

The best money I ever spent on a health related product! I have Parkinson's disease and therefore can be a little unsteady at times, but with my Exerstriders I am now walking 2 miles a day, 5 times a week. They help me keep my balance, burn more calories and get a full body workout. I am losing weight slowly but surely, with diet and Exerstriding. Overall I feel much better now that I am walking.

This is my second set of Exerstriders and these I shipped to CA where I visit family regularly. I simply cannot get in a good walk without them. Using my arms helps me get in a more aerobic walk and the poles make it easier to maintain good posture while walking. No more looking down while walking which is what many people do as they age, both because of weakened neck muscles and because of fear of tripping and falling. I have tried other walking poles but these are the best!

These are great poles, which I now find indispensable on any walk, be it on a paved walkway or dirt trail. I am still recovering from a hip replacement 4 months ago, and these help me take a bit of weight off the still-sore hip, as well as make me comfortable with my balance, even in rough uneven terrain. I have told all my friends about them, would buy again.

Great walking poles. Especially like the grips and the combination of exercises you can do with it to warm up before walking. The rubber shoe tips give good traction and my friends like it too. Walking poles are gaining attention in our neighborhood and people are purchasing them too. But these are the best. Worth the price.

was a bit disappointed that they don't collapse somewhat shorter so they would fit in my 22" luggage carryon. Other than that, they are great.

after knee and hip replacements my PT person recommended the exerstrider and I am so glad she did. It helps in my stride, my balance and my confidence to go on walks. Easy to use and very light weight yet sturdy enough.
