About Trekking poles

Although indeed, trekking poles are not so essential when you are on a hiking route. This can bring excellent benefits to your body and also depends on the route you are going to use in different ways. People usually think or think that it might be a little uncomfortable to carry it when traveling. They do not know how much this walking tool might help us.

We mean that it is the right distributor of the weight or load we carry since usually. The importance we take in the backpack is distributed in a non-proportional way. Most of it falls on our legs and shoulders, making us make a much higher physical effort. This can lead to some ailments in our body over time, as well as wear out our joints.

Using on Route

We know that on most trails that have descents such as Salkantay Trek, Inca Trail, or Choquequirao, the weight of the backpack falls on our knees, even more, when there are parts where we must jump. The canes will help us make a more healthy and reliable walk. We will avoid possible injuries and falls along the way.  If we ascend we must take it from the bottom and sink it into the ground to push us up, and if it is a descent it is advisable to hold it at shoulder height and nail it in front of the foot to release the weight on the arm. This will make us relieve fatigue.

Some health articles mention that the use of this tool makes us use 90% of our muscles. It decreases the body’s calories, and allows us to control cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Now that we know a little more, we need to know which one to choose and how to use it on our next outing.
