TIPS ON TWO STICKS TREKKING At first I was a bit 'skeptical to use telescopic poles, even I did not understand how they could be useful to have two "frills" that needed to be careful where you put them on the rocks ...... ...
But then I tried them and I had to change his mind now and not ever leave them at home when I go out on my excursions, even if they are without me feel like a cowboy without a horse!
The pair of poles are part of the equipment essential to the trekkers.
First endeavoring not swell more 'hands like sausages created from the best butcher ..... Then
help maintain the balance turning us bipeds in "four-legged" and serve to divide the effort of the legs on his shoulders too.
If you use the technique of cross-country tracks while keeping a steady pace and well-coordinated progression up and 'much higher than those who do not use chopsticks. Downhill
then lighten the stress on knees and serve in the most 'difficult to maintain balance during a jump of steps and may serve as a support to jump a stream.
We used to keep the rhythm and pitch even if you encounter steep terrain or scattered rocks, once made a habit at a glance you learn where to place the sticks in position and stops.
In my humble opinion, this serves very well as training for vision, physical coordination, speed 'mental concentration.
The physical benefits from the use made of sticks do not stop there: they serve as the upper body workout, workout with shoulders and arms are used to break down and reduce stress on joints of the legs and pelvis are used to stimulate and encourage breathing with the movement and the development of the capacity 'of the chest.
The choice of the poles must be done without too save money and still need to assess very well the technical features of these tools.
must be light as not to tire the arms during the trekking more 'long, three-section telescopic must be' cause I believe you can place (always with the points down) and deliver better (you try to take a steep path and demanding with long rods coming out of a backpack impacted every corner or anything else!), with three sections can be adjusted more 'carefully choose sticks with fixing system stable and lasting, must have steel toe caps wear eg tungsten, with inpugnature comfortable and ergonomic (I prefer the sticks with the coating at the bottom of the handle also because 'so' I should not shorten it to climb steep you just move the position of the hands below).
What happens?
The correct height of the trekking poles and 'what in relation to your height puts you in the arm and forearm at right angles to the stick properly contested.
When you have used them even with the rain, take it apart and dry, never use oils and silicone spray, the whole operation should be always dry!
And finally, two tips: Never put your hand in the straps, even if it can be handy, 'cause in the event of a fall and loss of balance and' better to leave it and have your hands free to protect themselves from falling. Use
wheels around the tips even in the summer 'cause they do not allow you to embed the tips of your fingers between the rocks, cracks, etc..
And now good trip!
