Am I fit to rebound?
Before beginning any new fitness activity - including using Kangoo Jumps® rebound shoes - it is important to consult with your physician or a qualified medical professional, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions or concerns. While Kangoo Jumps® are designed to be low-impact and joint-friendly, they are still a form of physical exercise and should be approached with care, particularly if you’re new to rebounding. 🤔 Some users may feel slightly dizzy or lightheaded during their first few sessions. This is often a normal part of your body adjusting to a new type of movement. However: 🛑 Stop exercising immediately if you feel faint, dizzy, or unwell ❗ If symptoms persist beyond the first few sessions, consult your doctor 🚨 Discontinue use right away if you experience chest pain, unusual shortness of breath, or any other warning signs. Seek medical attention immediately Your safety is our priority‼️ Listen to your body. Take it slow at the beginning, and always follow proper guidance. ✅ Rebound smart. Rebound safe.
Contraindications
Just like with any form of physical activity, rebound exercise may not be suitable for everyone. Certain health conditions may limit your ability to safely participate in rebounding exercises. ❌ Do not use Kangoo Jumps® rebound shoes if you are pregnant, as the intensity and dynamic movement involved are not recommended during pregnancy. ❌ Rebounding is also contraindicated for individuals with certain cervical spondylosis or other serious spine or joint conditions that may be aggravated by motion. ✅ Always consult with your doctor or medical expert before beginning any new fitness program, especially if you have existing health concerns or are unsure about your readiness. ‼️ We strongly encourage you to complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) before getting started. Your health comes first - move wisely, and safely.
Safety
Safety is a top priority with Kangoo Jumps® rebound shoes - and yes, the boots are designed to be very safe, even for beginners. We understand that fear of falling is common when trying something new. 😵 However, Kangoo Jumps rebound shoes are engineered with a stable base and shock-absorbing spring system, making them suitable for a wide variety of surfaces. ✔️✔️✔️ Most users find that after just a few minutes of practice, they naturally adjust to the movement and quickly find their centre of balance. With a little confidence, you'll soon be running, jumping, and smiling without even thinking about it. As with any physical activity, we recommend starting slowly, using proper technique, and wearing appropriate sportswear, including CALF-length cotton socks. 🚀 Feel the Bounce. Trust the Balance. Have Fun Getting Fit.
Before You Start
Kangoo Jumps® rebound shoes are easy to use, even for first-timers - but a few simple tips will help ensure a smooth and safe start: 👕 What to wear: Choose comfortable, breathable sportswear Ladies: wear a supportive sports bra Wear thick or double-layer, calf-length cotton socks for a secure and comfortable fit 🪑 Putting on the boots: Always sit down when putting the boots on or taking them off Fasten the buckles until you hear a gentle click - do not make them too tight! If you feel any discomfort, stop and readjust immediately 🧍 Getting started: Stand up slowly and look ahead to maintain balance Begin by marching in place, then progress to light jogging Try gentle side-to-side movements or bounce from one foot to the other Keep your feet shoulder-width apart for stability (not too close, and not too apart) Distribute your weight across your entire foot, not just the toes or heels 🙏 Take your time and listen to your body. With a bit of practice, you’ll quickly gain confidence and start enjoying the full Kangoo Jumps® experience. Start smart. Bounce safe. Have fun!
Overweight / Sedentary
Are you Overweight or Living a Sedentary Lifestyle? Kangoo Jumps® Might Be Perfect for You! Carrying extra weight puts added stress on your joints - especially the hips, knees, and lower back - making traditional exercise uncomfortable or even painful. ✅ That’s where Kangoo Jumps® rebound shoes come in. Thanks to their patented Impact Protection System (IPS), these boots absorb up to 80% of the impact typically felt during physical activity. This means: 🦵 Less strain on your joints 🧘 Greater comfort while moving ❤️ A safer, low-impact way to get active The specially engineered springs in the boots compress with each step, absorbing pressure caused by your body weight. This reduces joint stress and allows you to move freely, confidently, and without pain - even if you’re just starting out. Whether you're looking to improve your health, lose weight, or simply move more, Kangoo Jumps® offers a fun, effective, and joint-friendly way to get moving. Enjoy the freedom of movement - and rediscover the joy of exercise.
Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is a common condition that can result from everyday habits, physical changes, or underlying medical issues. If you experience frequent or unexpected leakage, it’s important to consult your doctor to better understand the cause and find the right support. In some cases, extra weight can increase pressure on the bladder and surrounding muscles, leading to leakage - especially during activities that involve bouncing, like a Kangoo Jumps® class. Movements such as jumping, coughing, or sneezing may trigger symptoms. To help you feel more comfortable and confident during your workout, we recommend the following: 💧 Empty your bladder just before your session 🩲 Wear incontinence liners or absorbent pads for extra security 🧘♀️ Consider incorporating pelvic floor exercises into your routine to build strength over time 😊 Remember, you’re not alone - and staying active is one of the best ways to improve overall health, mobility, and even bladder control over time. Be kind to your body. Move with confidence.
Eating / Drinking
What Should you Eat or Drink Before a Rebound Workout? To get the most out of your Kangoo Jumps® session, it's important to fuel your body wisely and stay properly hydrated. ✅ Before Your Workout: Follow a balanced, healthy meal plan throughout the day. Avoid heavy or full meals at least 2–3 hours before your class. Choose light, easily digestible snacks if you need a small energy boost closer to the session. Stay well-hydrated, but avoid drinking large amounts right before jumping ⚠️ What to Limit: Avoid or limit caffeinated drinks (coffee, strong tea, sodas) a few hours before your workout - they may increase urination or cause dehydration. Some participants experience a side stitch during exercise, often linked to undigested food or insufficient hydration. 💧 Hydration Tips: Drink water steadily throughout the day - not just right before or after your class. Continue sipping water after your workout to support recovery and toxin elimination. Remember‼️ Digestion takes precedence over physical activity. Give your body the time it needs, and it will return the favour with energy, endurance, and a more enjoyable workout. 🌀 Fuel smart. Stay hydrated. Jump strong.
Weight Loss
Kangoo Jumps® workouts are scientifically proven to burn more calories than traditional forms of exercise. On average, you’ll expend 20–25% more energy during a Kangoo Jumps session compared to performing the same workout in regular athletic shoes. But it’s not just about calorie burn - it’s about what happens inside your body: 🔁 Stimulates the lymphatic system, helping eliminate toxins more efficiently. ⚡ Boosts metabolism, improving nutrient and oxygen delivery to your muscles. 💪 Increases muscle tone, which further elevates your calorie-burning potential. 🔥 Raises your basal metabolic rate (BMR), so you continue burning more calories even at rest. With consistent use, Kangoo Jumps® can help you lose weight, tone your body, and feel energized - all while being gentle on your joints. 💫 Bounce your way to a healthier, lighter you - with proven results!
Feel Discomfort?
Feeling Discomfort or Pain⁉️ While most users experience no issues, it's not uncommon to feel some mild discomfort in the shoulders, lower back, or feet during your initial Kangoo Jumps® sessions. This is usually temporary and part of the body’s natural adjustment process. 😊 Kangoo Jumps® rebound shoes are designed to gently correct your posture by encouraging proper alignment and balance. As your body adapts, you may feel sensations caused by: 🧍 Realignment of posture 👣 Correction of pronation or supination 🔄 Activation of underused muscle groups These sensations are normal and typically fade with regular use as your body becomes more balanced and conditioned. However: 🩻 If discomfort persists or worsens, consult a medical professional 👟 You may benefit from using custom alignment insoles for additional support 🧘 Always listen to your body and allow time for gradual adaptation Remember, positive change often comes with small adjustments. Stay consistent, go at your own pace, and let your body grow stronger with each session. Realignment is progress - trust the process, and move wisely.
Hire or Buy your own pair?
You can always hire a pair from Kangoo Club Southend or your local instructor for a session to try them out and see if Kangoo Jumps® are right for you. 💫 However, owning your own pair has big advantages - it gives you the freedom to exercise anytime, anywhere, without depending on class schedules or availability. Ready to commit to your fitness journey⁉️ Head to our Online Shop section at the top of the page, select Rebound Shoes and choose your perfect pair.

New Boots Hard Compression
✔️ It’s completely normal for new Kangoo Jumps® rebound shoes to feel stiff or rigid at first. This is due to the Impact Protection System (IPS) and other components being brand new and not yet adapted to your body weight or movement. 🔄 A short break-in period is needed. During your first session, the IPS will begin to soften and adjust, gradually providing the expected rebound and comfort. Tip❗ Start with a light walk, then progress to a gentle jog. You can also try 4–8 single-leg bounces on each side to help activate and loosen the system more quickly.
