Kangoo Jumps!

Gotten this email invitation from Nuffnang to try out a new sport called Kangoo Jump.

It is part of a 3 months long campaign organised by Singapore Sports Council which aims to encourage women to actively participate in various sports.
Since i get to ask a female friend to come along, i asked Jac and just nice she can make it.

Yeah!!

I've seen this Kangoo Jump thingy countless times since we ( the usual blading gang) always blade up and down ECP. But somehow we never get to try it. Maybe we are wondering what to do with it besides bouncing up and down like tigger. Wahahhahaha.

This short one hour introductory event is really an eye opener for me and it certainly answers all my quries i have for this sport.

I guess everyone will be like me initally thinking : what kinda sport can this be? Just bouncing around wat???
Its was after the introductory lesson that makes me wanna take up this sport.

Reasons:
1. All terrain!! Can use it almost anywhere! You can just wear it and use it to skip outside your house at the corridor. :D
2. Helps to minimise impact to joints. Coz the "bounce" cushions the impact.
3. Besides jumping/ bouncing around like tigger, it can help to build up stamina( cardio exercise) and tones muscle.

Basically, all aerobics moves can be incoperated in it with a bounce!
Thats why Jac has such a blast with it! Ha!

Though the KJs are a bit pricey for a pair ($300ish for one pair) but the instructor told us that a pair running 5km 3 times a week can last for about 2 years so it is not so bad. And the inner sole lining is machine washable!

Maybe SAF can buy this and use it for those who are excuse this excuse that.
Excuse 2.4km run cos of ankle or knee injury? Nevermind, run with the Kangoo Jump.

Hahahaha! Kidding. Think all those who wanted to skive will kill me for suggesting such a idea.
But i guess it is good for those rehab ppl who wanted to start running again. Can still build up stamina with better cushioning.

Kangoo Jumps have so many programs- such as:

1. Kangoo TTR (Train, Tone & Rhythm)
2. Kangoo Boot Camp
3. Kangoo Power Program
4. Kangoo Kick Program
5. Kangoo Running Clinic

Anyway, back to the event. Let the pictures tell the story.


Saw this Uber kawaii board of BOLT.
Mini v sees BOLT and she will tell me it is Fat Dog Cookie.
Maybe i should spray paint a lightning mark on her body. Ha!

This is what SSC is promoting these 3 months :Women and Sports.
