Exercise is fun - Kangoo Jumps

Team - Wanted to share a quick "exercise is fun" moment with all of you.  This past weekend was a fun filled weekend with lots of traveling.  I was in and around Cincinnati and all the way to Seaman, Ohio at one point to visit a family member.

With everything happening so fast around, on Saturday my Mother and I deicided to take a few minutes for ourselves and exercise.  I did a quick glance of our surroundings; We had park benches, a large parking lot and a pair of Kangoo Jumps.  Our 20 minute workout consisted of tricep dips and squats on a park bench with a brisk cardio workout around the parking lot.  Here is the best part - we completed the workout with my Mom jogging in the parking lot in my Kangoo Jumps!

Shh, don't tell my Mom I posted this picture for all you Bloggies to see, but here is my awesome Mom at the start of her Kangoo Jumps workout.


Mom agreed, "these new age moon shoes are so much fun" - Check them out and if you're in the Cincinnati area with your own pair, let's start a Cincinnati Kangoo Jump Club!

Kangoo Kind of Day - Kangoo Cincinnati

It was a Kangoo kind of day here in Cincinnati.  Humidity was down, but motivation was up! I headed down to a local park in the later afternoon and took my TRX Suspension Bands and my Kangoo Jumps.  My TRX workout was very similar to the TRX Workout from yesterday and the Kangoo run was short and sweet.


Still a little sore from my boot camp classes yesterday, I was able to finish the workout.  If you missed the TRX Workout from yesterday, make sure you check it out.

Going to start running around the city to recruit new Kangoos.  It would be nice to start a Kangoo running club every Sunday.  Do you Kangoo and live in the Cincinnati area (downtown) and want to join me for a Cincinnati Kangoo run? Click the "email me" tab at the top and let me know, would love to meet other Kangoo lovers.

Cincinnati Kangoo Club

Look for your indoor cycling/spinning playlist in the afternoon tomorrow.

Kangoo Jumps Make Me Happy

Happy Wednesday Team,

It only took a few minutes for my ideas to start generating when I first saw them online.  Recently at the gym, I snapped on my Kangoo Jumps and put together a few moves for Fitness + Fun.

Check it out! If you have questions about my Kangoos, check out my Kangoo Post for all the details.


They're a lot of fun! Even more fun to run around town with them on. Stay cool and healthy!

Kangoo Jumps Review - They're Here

Team - Tomorrow's post will be back to it's regularly scheduled program.  As for today, I couldn't help it! I wanted to share with you some AWESOME news.  THEY'RE HERE! Kangoo Kangoo Kangoo Jumps!

As mentioned in my post last Wednesday, it took me a while to justify this purchase, but I'm stoked to Kangoo and keep everyone updated on the latest fitness trends. As soon as I unwrapped the package and put the boots on, I had a few reactions...

Initial Kangoo Jumps Review:
  1. Easy to use.  I was able to stand, run, and jump within seconds
  2. Engages your core more than I expected
  3. Fit to size
  4. Makes me very tall!
A coworker convinced me to put them on and bounce around for a few moments. Here is a quick picture of me in the office.


What do you all think? Giant, yes. Fun, yes!

Kangoo Review - I just ordered mine!

Team,

How can you combine strength training, some endurance, cardio, and flexibility in one exercise? 

Try Kangoo, I did and I loved it! I put them on at a fitness conference and I finally took the step to order my own pair.

Q:  What are Kangoo Jumps?

A:  Kangoo is a type of "rebound exercise." They look exactly like a a roller blade shoe, except with two half moon shaped springs underneath, instead of wheels. The spring on the bottom acts as a cushion to help take pressure off of your ankles, knees, hips and back during running or exercise.

Q:  Which pair should I get?

A:  KangooJumps.com informed me that I had 3 different options:

Model: XR series (the model I picked)
Spring: Standard IPS
Age: Adults and/or Teens
Weight:  At least 70 lbs
Cost: Starts at $229.00 USD

Model: The Pro series
Spring: Harder IPS.
Age: Adults
Weight: Heavy weight individuals and/or extreme athletes 
Cost: Starts at $299.00 USD

Model: The PowerShoe series
Spring:  Softer IPS

Coupon Code:  I used the official Kangoo Jump Promo Code afi9571
Savings: 7% - equals out to be free shipping

This is what they'll look like

 Why I am excited:

I absolutely love working out, exercising, sweating, pushing my body to new limits and helping others reach their goals. I will, however, be the first to admit...on occasion, it's hard to take that first step (usually off the couch) to exercise.  We're all fine once we make it to the gym or a class, but getting there is the hard part!

This is why I purchased a pair of Kangoo Jumps.  I want to mix up my workouts even more.  Each boot is 2.5lbs, so this will be perfect for running to the park and stoping for some bicycle crunchs, leg lifts and push ups with knees.

You'll hopefully be seeing some Kangoo videos soon.  I encourage you to find something new to mix up your workouts.  Don't worry about a big purchase! Don't forget small essentials like a jump rope, pilates block, foam roller, TRX suspension bands, heavier weights or resistance bands. 

Let me know what you got and some fun new exercises.
