Jumpin' & Having a BLAST!!!!
By Savvy Buyer
Ok, so here's the deal. I saw an episode of Nightline last month (google it) and fell in envy of all the people Kangoo Jumping all over Manahattan. I live in the SF Bay Area, an extremely progressive fitness community and had never seen KJ's. A little about me (so you understand where I am coming from); I am 37, 5'8, 158lbs (normally 140lbs) female. I used to (about 2 years ago) run between 3-6 miles 3-5 times per week, and my average times were 9-10 minute miles. I live an active lifestyle (Snowboarding all winter, hiking all summer). I've been trying to motivate a new running routine but have not been able to muster up the desire to torture myself into loosing the 18lbs I seem to have gained over the last 2 years.So I figured that $250 was worth the price of admission to loving my running routine again. I got the jumps Tuesday evening after Thanksgiving (perfect timing!) opened the box, put them on, stood up off the couch and blasted the music on my ipod. Jumping in the dark on my front porch I fell in LOVE with these things. Took the doggie for a Kangoo run around the block (in the dark) and decided that these things were going to change my workout routine forever. The next morning I went to one of my favorite running trails and went for a run. I was DYING!!! I had to run/walk because I thought my heart would pound out of my chest. This is so much harder then regular running, the best cardio workout and super fun.I have been Kangoo running 5-6 days a week for 2 and a half weeks for 30-40 minutes.A few things I have noticed:1- Even on a run/walk routine I can still go 4 miles in less than 40 minutes; meaning you MOVE with these things which makes it so much fun.2- I get stopped by at least 1 person EVERY time I go out with the KJ's so be prepared.3- Going up any hill is really hard at first but gets easier on the 3-4th day.4- My feet are truly a size 7.5-8 normal width, so I bought the medium jumps and have added a pair of sport gel Dr. Scholl's which add a little more comfort and fill in the boots (which are designed for men).5- I always wear 2 pairs of socks, one athletic and one tall to cover my chins.6- I was developing a crazy bruise on my right ankle, losening the top buckle has helped a lot. I wear my jumps firm to tight around my feet and a little looser around the calves/ankles (you will get a few bruises and soreness after the first few days but stick with your routine your body is just getting used to the stiff boots).7- On my 8th or 9th run I no longer had to run/walk, running and rebounding all the way!8- I love climbing stairs with these things, super fun and a great workout.9- I can take my dog for a walk and jump beside her as she sniffs and enjoys her leisure stroll while keeping my heart rate up.10- No chin splints! This is one of my favorite results. If you are a regular runner you know what I am taking about, if not then just imagine that your chins are on fire and you can barely walk because your calve muscles are so tight.11- Ankles still feel a little sore, but they are feeling better now that I have loosened up the ankle (top) buckle.12-Downhill can be hard on your knees because you just want to fly as you run which is creating more pressure as you rebound.13- According to my Polar I am burning more calories then when I run the same distance/time. Which is awesome!14- Each boot weighs about 4 pounds which adds to the difficulty of the workout, so be prepared.15 - Super portable (I just leave them in the car and go).I run on a variety of terrain which is also fun; gravel, cement, asphalt and dirt all allow for easy jumping. One of my biggest concerns when I had my traditional running routine was that most of the trails around here are cement, which is very hard on your knees, hips and other joints. I can now Kangoo easily on all of my favorite tails without fear or wrecking my knees.I have lost just over 3lbs in the last two weeks (granted; if I was traditional running for the same period of time I would have lost the same amount of weight BUT I would have chin splints, knee pain and be BORED out of my mind), and have even been getting comments from cohorts who have noticed that I've lost weight (and they have no idea about my Kangooing).If you're at the end of this super long review I hope that it has helped you learn a little about these awesome rebounders. Good luck & please comment I'd love to hear from other Kangooers; what you are doing, how you are using them ect.

Kangoo is too KEWL!
By S. Dunson
I love the jumps. I am now able to do the jumping around the house during my workout sessions that my knees would groan from before. The previous post by other users to just do an initial 10 minute session with the boots was excellent advice. I also ended up cutting the middle tension spring on my boot to give myself a little more bounce, it's even better than out the box.So far, I've had my jumps for 3 days. I did a test run in them yesterday for about 40 minutes with partial participation in the TurboFire 55 cardio workout....it was so much fun!!! Today, I will do the full workout with the boots. If you don't know what TurboFire is, be sure to check out the website for it and you will see why I can say these jumps are great because those workout sessions are INTENSE!Again, thank you early posters for the detailed feedback on what to do and how much you enjoyed the jumps. The negative comments on this item is not warranted at all, following the instructions will save you the unearned frustration toward the shoes. They are out the box ready.

These are AMAZING
By Tracy
These shoes are the most amazing thing I have tried in the workout world. They are a full body workout and so easy to use. At first just running is great and then as you get better, you can do exercises, jumps and other things as well. My gym recently acquired about 30 pair of them and they are developing a kanga class which is going to be amazing!! I HIGHLY reccommend these.
