KANGOO JUMPS: Space Age Exercise

KANGOO JUMPS

Kangoos look like NASA space boots, or something out of Star Trek.  They feel like trampolines on your feet, and make you jump like a kangaroo.  They defy gravity, are fun to use, and may start a conversation when worn outdoors.

The Kangoo Jumps were invented as a recreational device for athletes recovering from leg injuries.  Kangoos provide low impact cardio exercise for men and women.  Here’s a glowing article from the Daily Mail about Kangoo Jumps.

• Cardiovascular: Provides aerobic workout for the heart.

CAUTIONS
