How Do BungyPump Poles Aid With Cardio?

When you hike, it's not just your legs that put the work in to propel the body forward. Your arms and upper body play a massive part in generating the power that results in creating forward motion. BungyPump Poles make sure none of this energy goes to waste by absorbing the downward thrust of your arms, creating an extra level of resistance that burns additional calories whilst you move.

How Do the BungyPump Poles Work?

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.

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 option is great for strength training whilst 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.

How Do I Adjust the Poles to the Right Height for Me?

In order to maximise the benefits you receive from any hiking aid, it's vital that you adjust their height before use. To do this, simply twist the bottom and middle part of the pole until the end of the pole is approximately level with your chest. To tighten the pole in place, simply reverse the twisting action you used when loosening.

Who Can Use the BungyPump Walkathlon?

When training with BungyPump, 90% of the body's muscles are activated with up to 77% increase in calorie burn in comparison to regular walking. They train both strength and fitness simultaneously, making them ideal for weightlifters, athletes and casual walkers alike, whilst still being soft enough on the shoulders and elbows to allow both younger and older people optimal use.

If you find the 4kg resistance too easy, you can upgrade the poles to a higher resistance level using the upgrade kit included with the product. It's easy and doesn't require the use of any tools.
