Exerstider Total Body Exercise is Really Different — Here’s What People Are Saying:

"I’m glad to see that walking with fitness poles is catching on. I came across them in 2001 through a friend of mine, national fitness authority Tom Rutlin. I am a great proponent of walking for fitness – especially sustained walking, which can give a better overall workout than running or using aerobic machines. Tom has made it his personal mission to make walking the most efficient workout possible. His ‘Exerstriders’ have been shown to increase the calories burned while walking by 30-40 percent, as well as reducing the impact on your knees, hips and legs. Other research has shown that walking with poles increases oxygen consumption by 20-25 percent. This results in better cardiovascular and muscular workout with less stress on weight-bearing joints."
— Andrew Weil, M.D., best selling author and wellness authority

"Exerstriding is a safe and very effective way for people of any age to build total fitness."
— Steven Subotnick, DPM, past member of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, author of several books on the prevention of sports injuries

"Exerstriding is a lot more workout, in a lot less time. In six months of daily Exerstriding I’ve seen a big difference in my upper body tone."
— Roba Whiteley, noted nutritionist and author of “Walking Off Weight”

"Exerstriding really works! Minute for minute, mile for mile, nothing else can give you more results. Exerstriders will do for walking what the STEP did for aerobics!"
— Rob Sweetgall, “The Pied Piper of Walking,” author of eight books on walking

"I am 44 and have been running steadily since I was in high school. The use of your Exerstrider poles has brought me to a new, higher level of total fitness in the same time that I usually spent just running. They’re great!"
— M. Adams, M.D.

"We love using our poles...they have totally transformed our bodies. We have more muscle definition, strength, stamina, and endurance. We’ve already lost over 10 pounds each using them just over the last two months. Your invention has really made a difference in our lives."
— Gail & Frank, New York

"Exerstrider walking poles made my stomach as hard as a rock! And my arms and legs have muscle definition that I thought you had to lift weights to get."
— Judy R., Pasadena, CA

"Once you use walking poles and feel the difference, you’ll never stop."
— Andy S., Kansas

"I love my Exerstrider walking poles. I mean, I LOVE THEM! I actually feel cheated now when I don’t have time to “exerstride” am and pm. I’m thrilled with my decision to purchase your fitness walking poles. And thank you for the TOP QUALITY."
— Rosemary R., Florida

"Once I started using fitness walking poles, I could walk a lot longer. I lost 35 pounds! It’s the best money you’ll ever spend!"
— Marty A., Northbrook, IL

"Recently, I purchased a pair of Exerstriders. I have never enjoyed walking more! It’s a wonderful way to get total body exercise...the addition of your Exerstriders gave me what I was missing. I’m beginning to actually see a firming up of my upper body muscle groups."
— L. Davis

"Exerstriders are an excellent idea – not a gimmick. We need more such products on the fitness market."
— K. Kirk, fitness instructor

"Three months after I gave birth to my first child I was having trouble losing the extra weight I’d gained during pregnancy despite the fact that I was walking every day. In three and a half weeks of Exerstriding (the same time and distance I’d been walking) I’ve lost 7 pounds!"
— M. Manering, BSN

"I have tried swimming, cycling and the hugely expensive NordicTrack. Thank you for inventing the Exerstrider. It’s a great exercise with a low price tag."
— D. Tucker

"Exerstriders changed my mother’s life! Thank you. Following hip replacement surgery she had been hobbling along with the assistance of a cane and feeling like she would never ‘exercise’ again. With Exerstriders she can walk more normally and is now Exerstriding two miles a day!"
— J. Weidman

"Until Exerstriding, walking had been my main exercise for the past 20 years (I’m 61). I walked 3 miles in 45 min. on average 5 to 6 times a week. I’ve been Exerstriding for less than a month & feel like I really have “a new lease on life.” It must be the upper body workout that does it. I really feel like a new man. My workouts are approximately the same distance, duration and frequency as before, but the difference in the way I feel is incomparable. One month later: In the 2 months I’ve been Exerstriding (and I’ve been a “walker” for 20+ years) my HDL cholesterol (the good kind) has risen from 37 to 49! Exerstriding has taken a good 2” off my waist. And my weight, though not down dramatically, is the lowest it’s been in the past 15-20 years. One tremendous plus with Exerstriding is that it’s self-limiting. I’ve found that it’s almost impossible to overdo it."
— S. Beck

"My podiatrist recommended Exerstriding as a new low-impact aerobic activity to try during my recovery from a running injury. It has rapidly become the preferred substitute to running for my lower body and to resistance training for my upper body. In fact, I am so attached to it that I find I often begrudge time spent on anything else. Thank you for creating such a satisfying activity at such a small price!!"
— A. Dossa

"I bought a pair of Exerstriders a couple months ago, and they’ve become a treasured possession! I love them! We live in Florida, and they are just fine for walks along roads, and on a firmly packed beach. We went hiking on trails in the Smokies, and they were wonderful going up and down the steep slopes - took a lot of strain off my knees!"
— R. Mead
