BPL uses Series 300 Fitness Poles

Curious about the walking pole workout? Urban poling (also known as Nordic walking)—think cross-country skiing without the skis—has toning, calorie-burning and posture benefits that have made it popular in Europe for decades and a new workout favorite in Canada. Just grab your poles and go—no need for a pricey spandex outfit or a fancy gym membership, just your library card!

Urban Poling is a great way of enhancing your walking activities. It allows for a total body workout, engaging 90% of your muscles, therefore improving energy expenditure and your body’s natural ability to burn fat.
