The Keenfit Advantage

Multi-Terrain Abilities

Take your Keenfit Walking Poles anywhere…

Your Keenfit Walking Poles will be able to take you anywhere. The basic accessories like carbide-tips, trail-feet, beach-baskets & road-feet come standard with our walking poles.

Carbide-tips – are great for off-road, more rugged terrain – they help you to dig into anything from hard-rock to uneven softer trails – used with the trail baskets they prevent your walking poles from sinking into the softer, looser ground. You wouldn’t want to use the carbide-tips for walking on roads though [if the noise doesn’t get you the vibration up each arm is sure to!].

Beach / Trail Baskets – are plastic disks that easily screw on – approximately 3 inches up from the bottom of the walking pole – baskets are designed for beach/sand & deep grassy trails – they prevent your Walking Poles from sinking into the softer, looser ground – like grass or sand.

 

Trail-feet – are made of durable rubber to wear on the bottom of your walking poles over your carbide-tips for looser, less compact terrain.They help you to grip more rugged ground on a variety of different trails and can be worn with the trail baskets to prevent your poles from sinking into the softer, looser ground.

 

Road-feet – are made of soft yet durable quality-rubber, perfect for pavement, roads & sidewalks. The softness adds shock-absorbency to hard surfaces – to help you grab the road & propel yourself forward but yet the strength adds toughness – so as not to wear them out too quickly. Keenfit Road-feet – if you have proper technique – should last you about 6 months to a 1 year.

Did 10K Marathon using Poles with Diabetes & Knee Surgery

I recently found out that I am a Type 2 diabetic. I had put on a lot of weight and had not exercised properly for many years. My doctor told me that the main way to control my condition was through exercise and then diet.

The other part of this story is that my friend had knee surgery in the Fall and needed to exercise as well. She heard of a Nordic Pole Walking group that was going to start training for the Vancouver Sun Run in January.

So, the two of us joined the group and we trained three times a week for four months. We went to the Vancouver Sun Run in April and walked the 10K in 1 hour and 47 min. (This was also the first year that the Sun Run let in Pole Walkers, so we were pioneers.)

We are both in really good physical shape now, and we owe it to Sport Med BC for getting us involved in a wonderful program. We are both continuing to walk 3 times a week and are looking forward to participating in the Vancouver Sun Run next year as Nordic Walker Leaders. So, how’s that for a good story!!
