  1. 1. Starting position: Stand upright with the poles held firmly in your hands using the wrist straps. Keep your arms slightly bent at the elbows.
  2. 2. Execution: Perform an alternating stride where the left leg moves with the right pole and vice versa. Plant the pole at an angle and push off actively to engage the muscles of the arms and back.
  3. 3. Safety and tips: Maintain an upright posture and look forward. Ensure a smooth heel-to-toe roll of the foot and maintain a steady breathing rhythm.
