My first Kangoo jumps class

in exercise •  7 years ago 

Have you ever heard of Kangoo jumps?

They are rebound shoes that reduce impact on your muscles and joints, while burning twice as many calories. Sounds awesome, right? Sign me up!!

Well it's not as easy as it looks!

This is our pre-workout picture. The post workout picture doesn't exist because I could barely stand on my jello legs at the end.

At the beginning of the class I was following along with everyone. I felt so good, proud that I could move like everyone else!!
Then... after the third song our class instructor announced that it was the end of the warm-up and asked if we were ready for our workout...

"What!?!?! That was just a warm-up? You've got to be kidding me, Carol!!" Or at least that's what my brain was screaming while I managed to crack a half smile.

I focused on my breathing and pushed through the pain. I was a hot mess! I turned right when everyone turned left. And had to jog in place when the choreography got too difficult. My intention was to keep moving so I wouldn't catch anyone's attention. You can imagine how cool I looked 😉

Towards the end of class I had a hard time lifting my legs. But this is why I workout, to get stronger!! 💪💪 There is no shame in my game!

I tried my best and I didn't fall down or break any limbs so overall it was a success!! 😂😂 I'm going to try another class on Monday and see if I can improve. It was a lot of fun when I wasn't dying.

Catch you on the flip side, Steemitville! ✌️

Lol.. after three work out pics would have been cool too... never heard of Kangaroo jumps before

Here's a video from YouTube similar to the class. It's intense!

Damn. That looks like a lot of work. I'm tired just watching.

LOL, right!?!?
