Developed by BungyPump in Sweden with Rovena Westberg, a registered physiotherapist. We publish it here as supplied, as general information for people already using or considering walking poles. It is not medical advice and it is not a substitute for guidance from your own healthcare professional.

Physical activity helps to keep us healthier and strengthens our immune system. Physical activity also strengthens our heart and improves oxygen uptake and overall stronger muscles. A better fitness level improves your stamina. As a result our everyday activities and choirs are experienced as less draining and tiring. It’s never too late to start moving! – Rovena Westberg

Which poles suit this program

The Walkathlon is the natural choice here because a cardiac or pulmonary program is built around gradual progression. Lock the poles rigid to begin with, unlock 4 kg of resistance as your stamina improves, and step up to 6 kg with the free upgrade included in the box — all with one pair. The Number One 4 kg is the simpler option if you would rather start with fixed resistance.

Every BungyPump pole is made in Sweden, adjusts from 100–145 cm depending on model, and is covered by a two-year warranty. Shipping is free anywhere in Australia on orders over $100.

Health professionals: trade pricing and demonstration poles are covered on our research and testing page.
