One of the most important elements for the pilgrim is the cane. The famous walking sticks that we associate with the Camino, called snares, have a height equivalent to that of a man, which allows several advantages: when they reach the height of the heart, they facilitate blood flow and unload part of the body weight on the upper body. In this way, they exercise the arms and shoulders and make them participate actively in the exercise, something that does not happen when walking in a normal way.
Obviously, these effects can also be achieved with a deployable hiking or mountain pole; In any case, the important thing is that they have the right height to allow us to do a more complete exercise.
