Welcome to John Lamp's Exerstrider Fitness Walking Poles website!
Before
After
After years of poor health choices, I found myself weighing around 408 lbs. I had high blood pressure. I had high cholesterol. I had low O2 saturations and required oxygen 24 hours a day. I had sleep apnea which required that I sleep with a bipap at night. I had about 8 different prescription medication.
On September 8, 2005, I had gastric bypass surgery and now weigh around 210 lbs. By February, 2006, the weight was falling off of me, mostly from my walking. My upper body was getting quite puny. I felt that I needed something to work my upper torso as my arms were so soft it felt like I was grabbing a hand full of cooked spaghetti.
Out walking one morning I met Steve, who was using the "Exerstrider" walking poles. We got talking and I gave them a try.
I hadn't been keeping track of how much I lost then, but I am now in the 210 range. My biceps have tightened up a bunch. My major upper torso muscles have tightened up. My wife, Patti, says that my posture has improved greatly. I walk at least five miles a day using the Exerstrider Poles.
I am now off of the oxygen, bipap and medications. I feel in addition to the surgery, I owe a bunch to Exerstriders for my fitness and good health.
