Walking on the Moon: Kangoo Jumps

Somewhere during 2022 i had one of the best tips that Kangoo practice is coming to Baku and there are only few who will truly pass the test and obtain license to teach amazing "moon walking" boots.

Waiting a whole year since that news and going through multiple videos on the practice tips and how the training works in real time, my chosen instructor finally got the license!

Now, when you have the exitement and fear mixed up while walking towards the "boots" shipped and prepared for each individuals body type, soon enough your mind will fight with your consious and warn you that you will fall while walking on the gravity resistant boots. And yes, they are heavy, each being close to 2 kg.

While your instructor will talk you through how to hold your body right and that there is no way on earth you will fall on these boots, one of the old timers walks towards me and says the epic motivational quote: "- Its like prequal to walking on the moon, man." After that and many intense workouts one thing im looking forward each weekend at 5 am, is the moon walking magic in boots!

One of the hard frontiers will be your mind resisting and panicking while your body is deattached from the ground and while you have reverse gravitation pushing you upwards into the universe. That exersize of resisting all your natural instincs, will push your spirits to accept new realities and ease into any challenge upfront.

As the sun rises in the room filled with sport devices reflecting warm light tones all over the mirrors, and heavy disco and electro music is filing up the room where steps of the boots are kicking the ground with more persistence, instructor giving new directives, you find yourself surronded by hardworking creative people giving funny faces to each other and shouting if anyone is up for a morning coffee after we "crack" all the bones in the body.

Kangoo Jumps are rebound boots that were invented in the 1990s by Swiss inventor Denis Naville. Naville was a runner who was looking for a way to reduce the impact on his joints, and he came up with the idea of rebound boots with springs attached to the soles.

Kangoo Jumps quickly became popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts, and they are now used by people of all ages and fitness levels. Here a few advantages you will be getting in one go of the practise.

• Reduce impact on joints
• Improve cardiovascular health
• Strengthen muscles
• Triggering endorphins in your brain

With even busier lifestyles and reduced hours to ourselves and our health, finding ultimate, smart, innovative sports activity that surpasses those endless hours in gyms is the new way to go.

During a yearlong research and wait, i have found one activity that keeps on growing, creating new health benefits and passing all tests of being one stop solution for bodily issues that keeps on hunting us every year as the technology advances and we become more diactive. Thus, highly recommended.
