Bio: Diana is a dynamic marketing and business professional whose greatest passion is promoting an active lifestyle simply encouraging people to add a pair of poles to their walk. Urban poling, also known as Nordic walking, is basically combining specialized poles with walking. Although it’s been popular in Europe for years, it’s no surprise that it has really gained momentum in North America and many parts of the world given its numerous positive health benefits and added social perks. Like anyone else, Diana had to try it herself to believe it. She was determined to get back to a healthy weight and improve her heart health after her two difficult pregnancies. Walking was already part of her daily routine so adding a pair of urban poles was an easy way to get more of a full body workout. It didn’t take long for her to start noticing and reaping the results- improved muscle tone, straighter posture and much welcomed weight loss. What a fun way to burn more calories, sculpt your arms and shoulders, whittle your waist and let off stress and anxiety! It can easily fit into anyone’s schedule and is a lot less expensive and more convenient than a fancy gym membership. Diana’s remarkable recovery not only inspired her to become an Urban Poling instructor, she also eventually became the owner of the company! What better way to directly help drive change and promote physical activity in Canada and beyond than by being at the helm?
Today, Diana and her team are still driven to get people moving and help them become healthier versions of themselves regardless of age, ability or fitness level in an easy and accessible way. It all starts with taking the first step and choosing which pair of Urban poles are best for you. Whether they’re Urban poles for fitness or Activator® poles for rehabilitation and older adults they are all ergonomically designed with strapless CoreGrip™ handles, and 3 anti-vibration features for ease of use and comfort. Urban and Activator® poles be used all year round simply by removing the rubber boot or bell tips and adding a pair of snow or trekking baskets. Whether walking alone or with friends, your body will thank you!
Over the year span of the company’s 18 years, the Urban Poling community of trained instructors and therapists has reached 15,000 members globally and counting. Its courses are fun and internationally acclaimed with standing and seated exercises to accommodate a wide variety of users to improve gait, posture and core strength while promoting active living. Feeling good from the inside out has never been easier so grab a pair of Urban poles and walk your way to better health!
