Urban Pole Walking is the latest trend in fitness. It was developed for Olympic cross-country ski athletes to keep them moving when there is no snow to be found.

The unique cross-training exercise uses special poles and techniques to maximize every step you take. Pole Walking improves your core strength and posture, burns 40% more calories than traditional walking and does all this while being lower impact on your knee joints.

A special class on Urban Pole Walking is being offered by certified instructor Lisa Stuebing at the Shoreline Lake Forest Park Senior Center on Tuesday, September 16 from 1:30-3:30pm. Call 206-365-1536 for information or to register ($10/$7members).
