The Kangoo Jumps were
been created a few years ago with the purpose to absorb the shocks due
to impact on the floor during jogging.
The product was developed in Switzerland and is actually used in many
fitness clubs which have scheduled "Kangoo TTR classes".
The University and the orthopedical hospital of Lausanne (Switzerland)
have conducted many scientific researches to prove the efficiency and
the safety of the Kangoo Jumps.
Let's discover the advantages of the Kangoo Jumps
Improvement of the
cardiovascular and breathing systems
The use of the Kangoo Jumps can increase the oxygen consumption from
13% to 20% (compared to the same activity done without the Kangoo
Jumps).
Many athletes have improved their cardiovascular system with the use of
the Kangoo Jumps.
Protection of the
joints, e.g. knees, spine
The use of the Kangoo Jumps decrease the peak impact by up to 80%. It
can be considered a low-impact activity. The therapists and the doctors
recommend the use of the Kangoo Jumps for the rehabilitation after an
accident or a surgery. Many athletes use the Kangoo Jumps during their
training session to prevent eventual injuries due to overuse of the
joints.
Improvement of
muscular endurance
Due to the fact that during the training the participants must lift two
more kilos with each leg, we can deduct that the use of the Kangoo
Jumps improve the endurance of the legs muscles, especially the
quadriceps, the hamstrings and the gluteus maximus.
Improvement of body
composition
The participants will burn more calories!!! In fact in relation to
oxygen consumption, it has been proven that the use of the Kangoo Jumps
will increase the energetic expense up to 20%.
Development of balance
and improvement of the posture
The use of the Kangoo Jumps will involve the deep muscles of the body.
Improvement of foot
pronation or supination (during training)
The Kangoo TTR
training creates such state of euphoria that the participants will love
this new exciting way to move
The Kangoo TTR class
includes:
- The warm-up
- The aerobic segment
- The floorwork
- The final stretching
I wanted to share with
you a brief testimony of my results using Kangoo Jumps. Prior to using
the KJ?s, I had been an avid trail runner for many years. I had
experienced significant pain in my lower back (L4-L5) region, and an
MRI confirmed that I had a degenerative, herniated disc, which was
pressing on my sciatic nerve causing a condition known as Sciatica.
Since my condition was degenerative, there was no prognosis for
recovery. In addition, I had to discontinue all running, as I had
incurred injuries to my right knee and hip which were exaggerated by my
running. I discontinued running for a period of 2 years, at which point
I discovered your wonderful product. I must admit that I was skeptical
upon first seeing the Kangoo Jumps, but was desperate to find a way to
resume running. It has been 4 months since I have purchased the KJ?s,
and I cannot offer enough praise for this product. Not only have I been
able to resume running, but I have done so completely pain-free! I can
only contribute my rehabilitation to the KJ?s, as they have
strengthened the muscles, joints, and ligaments in the areas where I
had experienced injuries. I run approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours
daily on the KJ?s at an aerobic pace of 150-160 BPM. I run on pavement,
trails, and professional track and the KJ?s are always up to the
challenge. I have never enjoyed exercise this much in my life, where I
actually seek every opportunity I can to use the KJ?s. I have
recommended them to my patients, and they have been pleased with the
results as well. Furthermore, I wish to express my appreciation to both
Sue and Denis at the Head Office for their excellent customer support.
I will continue to be an avid supporter of Kangoo Jumps, and offer
cheers to the Kangoo Jumps team for the creation of this wonderful
product as well as their ongoing commitment.
