About BOING with Kangoo:
- Kangoo is the exercise boot with bounce. Strap on a pair of Kangoos, equipped with springs on the bottom and hop, jog, and jump your way through this low impact workout.
- Kangoo Jumps are low impact rebounding running and sport shoes.
- They reduce impact to your joints and spine by up to 80% (so its great for people with joint issues who normally can't do high impact and feels like you are running/working out on air).
- You burn 25% to 50% more calories than wearing normal shoes, so they promote rapid weight loss (because of the continuous rebounding against gravity it adds extra resistance and is equal to almost twice your body weight).
- They give you a super rush of endorphins that give you this natural high. There is no other cardio workout that is as fun as Kangoo (we call it a kangoo high - generally when people are in the shoes they have a perma-grin :)
- They immediately increase your endurance/VO2 max and makes your heart pump more efficiently.
- They give you an intense core workout running or walking in them and they improve your balance, coordination and posture.
