Kangoo Weight Loss
There are a number of reasons why Kangoo Jumps are great for weight loss. University studies show clearly that you spend much more energy, or calories, using Kangoo Jumps, compared to usual sport shoes. Your core and leg muscles are constantly stabilizing while you are in Kangoos, you are pushing against the resistance T Spring of the shoe and rebounding against gravity which is also adding resistance. Standardly you are burning over 25% more calories than normal exercises and depending on the speed and intensity you can sometimes burn up to 50% more calories than traditional exercises. In addition your heart has to work 250% harder to pump the same amount of blood through your arms as it does to pump it through your legs. Adding arm movements burns even more calories due to the pressure put on your heart to circulate oxygen and nutrients to the upper limbs.

Another reason Kangoo Jumps are great for weight loss is due to potent stimulation rebounding does to your lymphatic system. The lymph is the liquid which circulates in-between our cells, to carry the wastes and toxins, out of our body, keeping it healthy. A lot of people are unaware that our bodies contain four times as much lymph fluid as blood. However our lymphatic system, which is also our immune system, does not have a pump, like the heart, to keep its liquid in motion. It depends on our natural movements for circulation! If we don't move enough, excess levels of toxin actually clutters our lymphatic system and "poisons" our cells. In some places the lymph fluid actually crystallizes into cellulite, which many of us know is hard to eliminate.
Rebound exercise has been found to be the most effective way to "re-prime the pump" and keep it going, due to the up & down swinging in a low impact environment, like with Kangoo Jumps. The lymphatic system also monitors our metabolism. As we get older, we seem to put on more weight, which becomes harder and harder to lose. Studies have shown that our base metabolic rate, which is the rate that our bodies burn calories, decreases as our lymphatic system becomes less efficient. As we regularly use Kangoo Jumps, our base metabolic rate will become increasingly more efficient, resulting in noticeable improvements in our muscle tone, and weight management. In fact, we are actually re-training each cell to perform as it did when we were younger. Once we have re-set our metabolism, we will burn more calories at a higher rate, and will not regain weight, if we continue using Kangoo Jumps.
As long as you are moving even just running in place you are getting a great workout in Kangoo Jumps. Within minutes your heart rate is skyrocketed to upwards of 85% of your Max Heart Rate. You also get a natural "Kangoo High" (that sometimes last days) that makes you feel good and motivates you to keep exercising regularly. Not only do you burn more calories during your workout but when properly progressed you create an "oxygen detb" and burn more calories also in between workouts due to the EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) phenomenon.
