Hello, Ginger. Are the Nordic sticks helpful even for short walks like in the store, in and out like that? I may be past that since I've 'advanced' to a walker when actually walking for any distance, more than a few steps. I use a cane well to cross the street to see my son, but not much further than that.
Glad you're getting out and walking!
Blessings to you and may you keep getting stronger, moving more. Elizabeth

@ess77 My walking sticks are useful for short distances, places where I need to feel balanced and aware, etc. Walking in the store, I use the basket for my aid, but the sticks are in it. If I grab a little handbasket, it is awkward, but if I know that is all I will use, is I can still use just one stick, or my cane. Using my sticks seem to allow me more range of action, not just the straight line of a walker, if you can understand that?
