Kangoo jumps is translated from English as “kangaroo jumping”. In fact, jumping is the essence of training. They first learned about this unusual direction in the middle of the last century in Eastern Europe, but it was finalized quite recently in North America. There is no exact answer to the question of when and how Kangoo jumps appeared.
It is known that initially such boots were used for the rehabilitation of athletes, and in 1994 Denis Neville, the founder of the Kangoo Jumps company, introduced the first model of KJ-1 boots. Later, an aerobics program was developed, which, with some changes, has survived to this day. Currently there are four programs, including dance and children's.
Fitness classes in springy shoes are one of the most effective and at the same time fun methods of losing excess weight. The effectiveness of any movements performed in Kangoo Jumps increases several times, and ultimately they burn many more calories than traditional types of fitness. Moreover, since jumping significantly “accelerates” the metabolism, the effect of Kangoo Jumps continues even after the end of classes - the body continues to burn calories after training, even during rest.
The most important feature of this type of fitness is the use of special shoes. Attached to the sole of the boots are hemispherical parts that have a bridge in the middle, which provides mobility to the spheres and allows students to spring in such shoes. The top is something similar to the base of a roller skate, but of course instead of wheels there are springy platforms.
What does Kangoo jumps give?
A number of scientific studies have been conducted that have confirmed that training with special Kangoo jumps shoes has a number of inherent benefits.
- improving the functioning of the lymphatic and cardiovascular systems;
- accelerating the body's metabolic processes, increasing metabolism;
- increase in calories consumed and improve fat burning by 25%;
- increase in VO2 max by 7.2%;
- reduction of impact load on joints by up to 80% (knee, ankle, hip joints and spine);
- development of stabilizer muscles, strengthening of the deep muscles of the back and core, prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, trophism of the intervertebral discs;
- compaction of bone tissue and growth of muscle mass;
- improvement of skin condition, lifting and anti-cellulite effect;
- Increased production of endorphins improves mood, causes addiction to exercise and helps in the fight against stress.
Is it possible to do everything?
There are practically no contraindications, but some restrictions still exist.
- If you have diseases of the cardiovascular system, be sure to inform the trainer about this and be sure to consult a doctor before starting classes. But training is quite possible, it’s just that the trainer will individually select a program for you that involves minimal loads.
- You should not take risks if you have serious diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Although it is possible to exercise outside of an exacerbation, sometimes it is even useful. The stress on your joints is minimal, so you won't cause any significant harm.
- In case of exacerbations of chronic diseases or acute infections, it is also better to refuse training.
As for age, there are no restrictions, so people of almost all ages can practice, even children over 6 years old.
Some types of fitness are contraindicated for people with significant excess body weight, but almost everyone can do Kangoo jumps.
How to train?
Here are a few important features:
- Training can take place in the gym or outdoors.
- You can practice either with a trainer or on your own at home. But at first it is better to conduct classes under the guidance of an experienced specialist so that, firstly, he develops an individual training program taking into account your wishes, goals and capabilities, and secondly, he can correct mistakes in a timely manner.
- For beginners, it is better to start with a minimum training duration. For the first time, 5-7 minutes will be enough. Next time, try doing it for 10-15 minutes. As a result, bring the duration of one workout to 30-40 minutes.
- The optimal frequency of classes is 3-4 times a week, that is, every other day. This way the muscles will have time to rest, but efficiency will not suffer.
- At first, you may feel discomfort or even pain in your body. This is normal and will pass soon.
- Control your well-being and condition. Avoid dizziness and darkening of your eyes.
Selection of exercises
Kangoo jumps exercises can be very diverse. For example, you can use elements of dance, aerobics and other sports. But it is worth remembering that the shoes are not designed for constant jumping, so avoid such exercises.
When choosing programs, consider your goals (weight loss, muscle strengthening), capabilities and preferences. You can study according to one of the ready-made programs, or you can ask the trainer to choose something especially for you.
Train with pleasure and benefit!

Expert opinion

Oksana Moshescu, international presenter and trainer of Kangoo Jumps fitness programs
- How do classes on Kangoo Jumps differ from classes in sports shoes??
Kangoo Jumps boots are shoes of a patented design for running and active recreation for the whole family, people with different fitness levels (both those who have never played sports and professional athletes). Their main advantage is a special spring system that absorbs collisions with a hard surface. That is why they are ideal for the category of people who have joint problems or back pain.
Exercising and running in them not only allows you to burn 30% more calories than when exercising in regular shoes, but also allows you to tighten your buttocks and tummy in record time! This is due to the heaviness of the boots in which we train. Each of them weighs about 2 kg, and by doing certain exercises (raising your knees in a jump or throwing yourself back), you can quickly strengthen your muscles and acquire a beautiful relief of such important parts of the body as the buttocks and tummy! And swinging to the sides while jumping gets rid of excess fat from the outer thigh! After the main part of the workout, which we do with jumping, we move on to strength training, which is also done in Kangoo Jumps boots, which means we work with weights!
- Are there any contraindications?
As with any other type of fitness or sport, training in Kangoo Jumps boots has some contraindications. Pregnant women cannot exercise in them (due to the fairly high intensity of jumping and running), as well as people with cervical spondylosis. I would like to remind everyone that to practice any type of fitness or sport, you need to have permission from your family doctor or at least get advice from a specialist if you have any health problems!
- What is the duration of one lesson and its cost?
.JPG)
The duration of one session in boots is 55-60 minutes, just like any other regular aerobic workout consisting of a warm-up, main part and stretching. Within one hour, more than 1000 kcl are burned, and therefore today Kangoo Jumps are the fastest, most effective way to lose weight and, most importantly, without any harm to your health. And if you consider that classes in them give an incredible feeling of weightlessness, then we can safely call this type of fitness ideal!
The cost of one lesson depends on the level of the club in which training in Kangoo Jumps boots is conducted. As a rule, they range from 80-100 hryvnia!
Although Kagoo Jumps and their fitness programs may seem easy to use and a simple form of fitness, there are many rules and techniques that require some knowledge and preparation. Therefore, I strongly recommend taking classes exclusively from licensed instructors, to the point that you can ask your instructor for a diploma or certificate of completion of the courses.
Where to work out?
There are still not many places in Kyiv where kangoo jumps fitness training is conducted. If you wish, you can buy springy boots yourself. The price for them is fixed, it is set by the official manufacturer: 219 euros for children, 239 euros for shoes for adults. A fake will cost you 2,000 UAH, but in this case you are greatly risking your health.
