I just bought my first pair of trekking poles (Black Diamond Z-Poles) and I'm feeling like a klutz because what I thought would come naturally isn't.
I know that the right pole should move with the left foot and vice versa, but try as I might I don't seem to be able to stick to that pattern. I'm also worried about stressing my wrists. I've watched a bunch of random videos and just feel confused.
(This isn't a new feeling for me, by the way. I can't dance, catch a ball, or stay up on a pair of skates.)
Does anybody have a surefire way to learn to use trekking poles correctly? Perhaps a specific well-made video?
And no anti-pole polemics, please! There are other threads for that. :-]
