When children use
Kangoo Jumps they improve their coordination, balance, spatial
awareness, learning faculty, rhythm & timing, self esteem and
body image.
Kids love to bounce;
they jump on the bed, on the couch, on trampolines, and they love the
sensation of being "air-borne". In fact, the urge to jump is quite
natural. Because jumping is so much fun, most children don't realize
how beneficial it is to their health... so please don't tell them that
it's really exercise.
Kangoo Jumps are very
safe and easy to use. Overweight children finally have a perfect
exercise option that burns calories, tones all muscles, increases their
agility and self esteem, while they are playing!
Californian schools
and para-scholar organizations like Boys & Girls clubs (USA)
started using Kangoo Jumps in 2001, to fight the plague of overweight
and physically inactive children. But Kangoo Jumps provide even far
more health benefits to children.
In his book "Jumping
for Health" Dr. Morton Walker writes how rebounding helps correcting
learning disabilities, improves vision, coordination, concentration,
spatial awareness, rhythm, posture. Kangoo Jumps are currently being
tested successfully in Denmark with autistic children.
"Kangoo
Jumps were introduced to Steve & Kate's Camp, LLC in 1998 and
since then have become a significant component of the camp program.
Unlike the safety concern we have we have about scooters and rollers
blades, we feel completely comfortable in expanding our use of Kangoo
Jumps. Our experience has been that everybody loves them, even though,
while having great fun, they are getting a strong dose of balance and
coordination development"
