MYTSTRAP
PRICE: $177.00
What is the mytstrap tension trainer?
The MYTSTRAP Tension Trainer is an innovative device that when used properly increases power by maximizing intramuscular tension. This is achieved by maintaining an isometric position while performing an isotonic movement. By performing an exercise in this manner, you will work your muscles harder, enhancing overall strength and accelerating muscular development.
How tension training works?
The MYTSTRAP is perfect for helping you safely increase the amount of tension you can put on your muscles, signalling a greater neuromuscular response. By doing so, the MYTSTRAP is proven to give you an extremely efficient and effective workout without necessarily going to the gym.

The All-New Adventure Series (3 Section)
We’re excited to introduce our new Adventure Series 3-sectional poles – the perfect pole for those who love to keep fit while traveling!
This new model comes complete with the snow and trekking baskets and has the same sporty graphic design as our original Adventure poles.
The thing we’ve changed is the new 3-piece design with 2 locks, designed to telescope down to a shorter overall length (only 25.5”), making it ideal for travel.
Pole length can be adjusted in much the same way as our regular two-sectional poles. Both the middle and lower sections of this new Adventure series model should be set to the same height marker line to correspond with the height of the user.
How simple is that?
Poles Designed Perfectly For All Needs!
Like our two-piece Nordic walking poles, our new three-piece Adventure poles compact size makes it the perfect travel companion. Super lightweight, super-strong!
Your perfect travel companion!
URBAN POLE SERIES 300 BREAST CANCER
PRICE: $99.95
If high-quality matters you, then you will find our poles are well-engineered for with superior performance. You’ll love our extremely long lasting and quieter, vibration-free poles.
Not only that, but our poles include the only innovative strapless handle on the market that’s ergonomically engineered for your hands! This is the evolution of Nordic walking.
Like any kind of fitness activity, top-quality gear can make a difference to your safety, comfort, and performance. Our ergonomic handles effectively target the core muscles and absorb shock and vibrations when poling on urban surfaces. Additionally, we provide you with the only strapless handle (to lower the potential risk of wrist and thumb injuries and optimize comfort).
Our selection of adjustable 2-section poles collapse down to 31′ (inches) for travel and storage. Extended – this is ideal for individuals between 128cm to 188cm (4 ’2″ to 6 ’2″) in height. All our poles are lightweight (280 grams or 0.6 lbs) and very durable.
Many people ask well can I just use my ski poles and just start swinging them?
Like any sport, the true benefit to urban poling is based upon proper equipment and technique.
Mandy Shintani (owner and occupational therapist) says “when we originally introduced the poles people would ask: ‘Why do I need specialized equipment?” The urban poles provide stability, minimize vibration and noise. If you’re an avid poler you get it why these things are important. It’s the same concept jogging — you wouldn’t do jogging in your dress shoes.”
The Urban Poles are effective due to the unique design of our poles – the patented ergonomic strapless handle and boot-like tip is what set us above other cross-country styled poles that have a hand strap. – says Shintani
Our ergonomic strapless handle on urban poles was carefully designed to most effectively exercise all the body’s major muscles and develop “core fitness” as you are poling! The grip and technique have a focus on core muscles strengthening described in detail in our instructional DVD.
Essentially, each time you swing your arm forward, you must plant your pole into the ground and as you walk through your stride you push off or ‘propel’ yourself forward. It is this motion that activates your core muscles. Consider this, if you walk one mile with the poles you will achieve 1800 abdominal muscles contractions.
Whether you are looking for motivation to get off the couch, a way to optimize your current walking routine or for an effective cross-training alternative to yoga or Pilates – urban poling may be for you!

How to choose: 18" VS. 22"
If you're wondering how to choose between the 18" and the 22", the only difference in construction is length. The 22" offers four more inches of massage surface. The 18" offers 10" of massage surface while the 22" offers 14" of massage surface. Each handle is 4 inches long.
The 22" is best for buddy massage and back massage and for people who are less flexible or larger in size. It works well for personal use but the extra length does make it easier for using on someone else.
The 18" is our best-selling size and works great for personal massage. The shorter length makes it just a little bit easier to pack into small bags.
