- "Hello and thank you for making Exerstriders. Since last July I started my walking program and I was ready for more of a challenge than just swinging my arms. The Exerstriders were the perfect remedy for my whole body. Since July and with the help of the Exerstriders, I have lost nearly thirty pounds. The old metabolism needed revving up and my arthritis was also acting up so the mind said ‘let’s get healthy old girl’.”
"I’ve been walking with the Exerstrider poles steadily since 1994. Before I discovered Exerstriding I was a junk food junky and never met an exercise I liked, but I loved this one immediately. In just over two years of daily walking with the poles I shed a total of 135 pounds. Because I love to Exerstride and have continued with it, I’ve been able to maintain my healthy weight and good muscle tone at age 70. I have so much energy that I spend most of my time enjoying being an active Grandpa who spends much of my time caring for my daughter’s two young children."
- "I just had to e-mail you and tell you how much I love my Exerstriders. I have never loved exercising so much. in 2 months I have lost 15 inches total. I walked a treadmill all winter and lost nothing and had lots of pain. After being in a car accident two years ago I never thought I would be able to do much of anything due to a back and knee injury. With the poles I am doing great and pain free most of the time. Thank you so much for this wonderful exercise equipment. I can take it wherever I go.”
- "Please send me a pair of your Exerstrider poles. My friend has lost 43 lbs. in seven and a half months by using your poles. Send them ASAP please!”
- “At age 40 my doctor told me that I had to lose weight or I wasn't likely to make it to age 50. I weighed an estimated 425pounds (the doctor’s scale only went up to 300) so he told me my options were to get a gastric bypass operation or begin an exercise program. Since I knew that gastric bypass operations were risky (and occasionally fatal!). So I decided to try to begin a walking program. But after just 15 minutes of walking my legs were killing me and I was nearly breathless. Then I happened to see someone walking with Tom’s poles and after hearing how they worked I decided to try them. I could immediately walk 20 minutes without the pain and severe panting. I soon worked up to being able to walk 2 miles and committed to do so 5 days a week. On weekends I took Tom’s advice for maximizing calorie burn and walked between 5 and 6 miles each day.To avoid the stares and comments from people, I did most of my walking in the cemetery which gave me some extra incentive. My parent had bought me a plot and a headstone with my name and date of birth was already placed on it. Every time I walked by, it motivated me to keep walking. In about 24 months, even my doctor was amazed that I’d lost around 200 pounds. I did a little ceremony in the cemetery where I imagined burying the unhealthy half of me, and then walked out of the cemetery that day excited to begin a new and much healthier life. I’d still like to shed a few more pounds, but I know that my life is forever changed and that I’m now very likely going to live a normal life span and enjoy each year more than I ever could have had the Exerstriders not helped me become half the person I once was. Thanks so much for inventing such a simple and enjoyable exercise!”
