Do step counters work with hiking poles?

We have always wondered if our step counters track our steps accurately when we are using hiking poles. In this #short we test it! We walk the same loop twice, once with poles and once without. We use our step counters on both walks, including a third step counter that Renee wore on her ankle.

I love my hiking poles. I never understood them until I went on a week-long mountain hiking trip and wow, did they ever help!!

[Lmnop]

Awesome! This is heat to know. I’ve always wondered when I go on my hikes. Thanks for that.

One of the girls I was hiking with said her apple watch told her she was swimming for 6 hours while using her poles 😂

I like how you put one on your ankle.... Eliminate some variables. Cool stuff!

I’m on the Te Araroa in 15 days and I’m taking my poles for stability on creeks and uneven sections and the afternoons when I want that small boost of effort with every step. Get a good pair don’t be cheap.
