How Do the BungyPump Poles Reduce Pain As I Walk?

BungyPump is a unique brand of training poles with inbuilt suspension that allow you to lose weight in a fun and effective way. The suspension eliminates jarring from downward thrusts; this means that elbows and shoulders are not overexerted while pressure is alleviated from the hips and knees.

How Can These Trekking Poles Exercise My Upper Body?

The poles provide resistance every time you press down, activating the upper and lower body to ensure you are reaching your full potential. The resistance can be adjusted between 4kg and 6kg to let you cater your workout intensity to your current level. The resistance option is great for strength training, while the fixed option is perfect for hikes and walks.

How Do I Change the Springing Action of the Poles?

With the moveable locking mechanism, the pole can quickly and easily change from a springy to a fixed pole in just seconds. You can lock the pole by twisting the turning nut that is secured on the middle part of the pole – this will stop the pole from collapsing and it will stay in the fixed position.
