How Do the BungyPump Poles Reduce Pain As I Walk?

BungyPump is a unique brand of training poles with inbuilt suspension that allow you to lose weight in a fun and effective way. The suspension eliminates jarring from downward thrusts; this means that elbows and shoulders are not overexerted while pressure is alleviated from the hips and knees.

How Can These Trekking Poles Exercise My Upper Body?

The poles provide resistance every time you press down, activating the upper and lower body to ensure you are reaching your full potential. The resistance can be adjusted between 4kg and 6kg to let you cater your workout intensity to your current level. The resistance option is great for strength training, while the fixed option is perfect for hikes and walks.

How Do I Change the Springing Action of the Poles?

With the moveable locking mechanism, the pole can quickly and easily change from a springy to a fixed pole in just seconds. You can lock the pole by twisting the turning nut that is secured on the middle part of the pole – this will stop the pole from collapsing and it will stay in the fixed position.

What Can I Do With the BungyPump Training Poles?

These versatile training poles are able to be applied in a number of high workout functions that keep you fit and healthy. Read about them here, or watch the video included at the bottom of the page.

• Nordic Walking: Take a hike and start walking with BungyPump's poles, their inbuilt suspension makes power-walking all the more powerful
• Full Body Workout: Do lunges, ab workouts and tonnes more with these versatile poles
• Rehabilitation and Stretches: Use the 4kg resistance to complete a series of high intensity stretches that will keep you limber and agile, or help you recover from injury

Who Can Use the BungyPump Walkathlon?

When training with BungyPump, 90% of the body's muscles are activated with up to a 77% increase in calorie burn in comparison to regular walking. They train both strength and fitness simultaneously, making them ideal for weightlifters, athletes and casual walkers alike, while still being soft enough on the shoulders and elbows to allow both younger and older people.

If you find the 4kg resistance too easy, you can upgrade the poles to a higher resistance level using the upgrade kit included with the product. It's easy and doesn't require the use of any tools.

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit

Using Your Shoe Size

For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.

Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.

Measuring Your Current Insoles

While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.

To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
2. Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
3. Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?

The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.

The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab

What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?

If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.

Trimming Your Insoles to Fit

To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:

1. Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
2. Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
3. Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
4. Carefully cut along the traced line
5. Your insoles should now fit your shoes better

Carefully trace the outline of your insole

Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
