What we’re about
Ask your smart device what Trekking is, and it may tell you that it is a long and arduous hike. Yoga is many things, long and arduous it is not.
In the context of Trekking, without the help of a stick or pole, hiking can be difficult for some. When extending your hands to your feet via the poles, many stress points are countered, alleviated or re-enforced and quadrupedal movement is achieved. Stronger back and abdominal muscles are developed there by strengthening your core. Uphill and down hill arm movement is like repeatedly doing Yoga warrior positions with a plank between each step.
Using all four limbs in coordination with the activity can be challenging for the mind to tell the body how to use them efficiently. Safety! Always having two, three and sometimes four points of contact on the ground at the same time is a safer way of walking, hiking or trekking.
A studio of version of sticks and yoga utilizes the sticks to facilitate several yoga positions. Mind and body coordination practice comes naturally. For the extreme Trail Blazers: Power Trekking is exploring the ability to use all of the core muscles up and down various terrain.
Practice power trekking with a YouTube; one hour playlist. 128 BPM cardio and a 5 kilometer route should take about an hour.. if you can maintain..

See all- Trekking Sticks Walking & RowingLive Oak Park, Fallbrook, CA
Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve hosted an event. Since then, I’ve had a shoulder replacement, published over 330 videos on Rickey Amar’s What’s Next YouTube channel, and believe I have perfected a unique style of power walking with tethered sticks. (Trekking poles)
Imagine swimming and walking or walking and rowing—both have similar motions and engage your core. The poles facilitate that.
My past events focused on teaching how to walk with all the body parts in motion. Learn to propel safely forward on flat land, uphill, and downhill.
If you currently free walk without the assistance of poles on our local trails, you might want to give this technique a try. It will definitely improve your performance, agility and core strength.I am at the time of this post age 71, 5’7”, 169#, and 17 years drug & alcohol-free, my diabetes is in remission. I’m feeling great. I attribute 75% of my good health to exercise-diet, and the rest by paying attention to my mental health. If you’re interested in learning more about how this exercise method can transform your life’s outlook and core strength, I am delighted to host this free demonstration and instructional exercise for you.
If you don’t have adjustable trekking poles, don’t worry—I have a few extra pairs. My supply is limited so please message me if you need them.
(Would you believe that once I weighed 305 pounds, alcoholic, enrolled in pain management, and had (have) type two diabetes?)
I have also had hardcore hikers come to my events and unfortunately some were a bit disappointed. Nothing too challenging about this instructional event.
If you’re one of these people and think you can keep up with me, perhaps we can set up a different event at a more challenging venue for you. I can easily complete most trails in this canyon at 3.3 mph, covering 5 kilometers in less than an hour—uphill and downhill, at the same speed. Message me if you’re interested in a more advanced version of this technique.
