The kangoo jump corresponds to a type of physical activity in which a special shoe is used that has a special damping system, consisting of special springs, and propulsion that can be used in classes at the gym in order to reduce the impact on the joints, decreasing the impact, and increasing the caloric expenditure, since it directly influences the intensity of the movement.
A kangoo jump class can last between 30 and 45 minutes, has high intensity and can promote the burning of 400 to 800 calories depending on the person's metabolism, physical conditioning and intensity of the class. In addition to promoting caloric expenditure, kangoo jump improves balance, reduces impact on joints and improves fitness.
