ABOUT DR. KIM

I'm a pole walking instructor and Urban Poling Master Trainer (exclusive to the DMV) offering accredited instructor courses for fitness and wellness professionals in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia.

I’ve been pole walking for 15+ years. Cross-country skiing and skate skiing were my winter exercise activities when I lived in Toronto. Poles are an extension of my hands.

I got hooked on pole walking when I retired from running (more like jogging...) and was later recovering from a chronic hip injury and plantar fasciitis. Like many mid-life women, I now have osteoporosis. I could not recommend a better weight bearing activity that keeps bones healthy and strong.

Looking to improve your fitness? Need help with balance and mobility? Want to learn best practices for starting  pole walking and pole exercise classes in your community?
