When hiking, mountain friends encounter a lot of rugged road conditions, and carrying heavy equipment is a huge challenge to the legs and knees.
When mountain friends use trekking poles, you will find that through shoulder to arm, wrist to trekking pole, this series of exercises will greatly reduce the burden on the knees when walking, and can walk outdoors more comfortably and easily.
Single stick or double stick? ——The trekking pole enables the strong hand muscles of mountain friends to fully participate in the process of mountain travel.
Just like the limbs of simulated animals, it makes full use of the strength of each part of the body and relieves the burden on the legs.
Walking with two sticks can not only solve the lack of upper limb movement of mountain friends when hiking, but also make you maintain an upright state to better observe the road conditions during the journey. Thereby breathing, driving the rhythm of climbing and walking, greatly improving the safety.
You can also walk with a single stick, but when you put your weight on the stick, your body will tilt subconsciously, and your body will gradually become uncoordinated over time.
Another point is that in the process of hiking, there are often scenes of crossing a single-plank bridge. When crossing a single-plank bridge, if you only use a cane, you may not be able to switch the cane as quickly as you lean to the side without the cane. So in some more special environments: such as single-plank bridges, or narrow cliffs, using pairs of canes will keep your body balanced.
With stability, safe acceleration - using trekking poles can help mountaineers significantly increase their grip on slippery surfaces beyond their feet. Especially when using trekking poles when going downhill, you can always keep at least three touches on the ground, which greatly increases the stability of your body.
