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 used Smart Crutches for about 10 years now. They are great for limited weight bearing or if you’re like me and can’t bear weight on wrists and hands so the weight is instead shifted to the forearm which helps tremendously for chronic/long-term use! Would love to have more frame color options but it’s nice getting to decorate the cuffs!
These walking poles are exceptional. After spine surgery, and then some complications, these walking poles are a godsend. Using them encourages me to be mindful of my posture and more confident with balance while building endurance. I particularly like the contoured hand rests that enhance my comfort while gaining my stride.
I think these are incredibly comfortable! My forearm sizing fell at 9.1, and I wish I’d sized down (7.5 to 9) rather than selecting the 9.1-10 option, since it fits slightly too big and rides closer to my elbows than I would have liked! Overall pretty happy, though!
I wasn't sure about getting these but they are fantastic! Not only do they make using my crutches on uneven ground a lot easier but the cushion the impact of the crutch hitting the ground with normal use which then puts less strain on my joints which is an unexpected perk.
