You can even do your housework wearing a pair of Kangoos.
Kangoo Jumps' Swiss-engineered patented Impact Protect System (IPS) is designed to help reduce joint impact stress by up to 80 percent; limit the risk of aggravating overused or surgically reconstructed joints; and prevent the onset of injuries due to rigorous training.
Kangoo Jumps add a bounce to aerobic fitness routines and provide cardiovascular and calorie-burning benefits in a shorter amount of time than traditional aerobic and running workouts.
According to a study by the J M Buchanan Exercise Science Laboratory, School of Human Kinetics, at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, 25 novice runners who used Kangoo Jumps experienced greater cardiovascular improvement and fewer injuries when compared with the group wearing regular running shoes.
The benefits of low-impact aerobic fitness range from cardiovascular and muscular to fat reduction and cellular revitalization.
Similar fitness programs are also used by NASA in the training and reconditioning of astronauts.
Kangoo Jumps have been popular at fitness centers in Europe since the 1990s.
Kangoo Jumps are sold through independent distributors throughout the world and are emerging into the US retail market through KangooNYC.com. Ericka Simmons, managing partner of Epic Sculpt, a fitness product distribution company based in Cranford, New Jersy, is the official distributor of Kangoo Jumps through KangooNYC.com.
Headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, The Athlete's Foot is a global franchisor of athletic footwear, with 239 locations in the US, including 12 stores in New Jersey and 23 in New York.
