Is there an instructional video I can buy about trekking poles? I know that sounds silly, but I got a pair as a gift for my dad to encourage him to be more fit and enjoy the outdoors even tough he has bad knees. But these are not "in" where he is from so the only person he's seen using them was an 80-year-old and I think he got the wrong impression that they're fancy canes for people who can't walk without assistance, not for all ages, and a great workout.
