Thanksgiving 2024 is here and it can be a fantastic day for a walk! Here are a few reasons why:
Fresh Air and Exercise: After indulging in a hearty meal, a walk is a great way to get some light exercise and aid digestion.
Family Time: Walking together can be a wonderful bonding activity with family and friends.
Beautiful Scenery: Late November often showcases crisp autumn weather, with golden leaves and cool temperatures, making for a scenic stroll. Just remember to be careful of wet leaves on the ground!
Gratitude and Reflection: A quiet walk provides a chance to reflect on what you’re thankful for and enjoy a peaceful moment during a busy day.
Just check the weather forecast in your area to make sure it’s suitable, and dress warmly if it’s chilly. Happy Thanksgiving to all and this Thursday, get your walking poles and Let's Get Out There!

I have severe scoliosis and these poles are so comfortable and supportive - they really help me keep moving! I have used regular trekking poles in the past, but I would get hand fatigue and sometimes even numbness in my hands. I have used a cane in the past, but I would get both hand and shoulder pain with a cane. The York Nordic Motivator poles have solved both of these issues. I highly recommend them. I also strongly recommend getting a FlexTip base with a spring as for the added shock absorption and a longer life for the tips - the typical rubber tips don't last long if you walk a lot. Thank you for developing these poles!
