Many fitness aficionados moved their workouts outside last year, and with that new environment, many were also looking to add some fun to their routine.
Bounce and Burn, a new fitness studio owned by Dakota Fox and Janine Cooper, jumped to the rescue with its low-impact, high-energy, outdoor classes using Kangoo Jumps boots. They look like roller blades, except instead of wheels, wearers balance on spring-loaded soles.
Kangoo Jumps boots were originally developed by a doctor to help orthopedic patients recover from knee, hip and back injuries. According to Fox, the boots reduce the stress on joints and knees while you enjoy an easy, safe and effective cardio rebounding workout that burns more calories than other low-impact routines.
The classes obviously gained a following, as Bounce and Burn gained enough votes to win an Honorable Mention for Best New Business in the 2021 Maggy Awards.
Kangoo Jumps cost around $250 a pair, or they can be rented for $10 a class or $30 a month through Bounce and Burn.
