" When it comes to fun fitness, the Kardashian sisters never seem to fail me. When I saw a picture of Kim and Kourtney bouncing away in Miami&amp;#039;s South Beach in their Kangoo boots, I knew that I needed to get in on the action too! Luckily, my gym in NYC&amp;#039;s Union Square, Crunch, offers a &amp;quot;BOING with Kangoo&amp;quot; class, so I quickly signed myself up to see what the fuss is all about. I strapped on my boots and tied up my hair, and I was ready to go! Here&amp;#039;s my verdict: The Workout: Kangoo Jumps is actually a fitness trend that was born out of Switzerland, but it recently made a trip across the Atlantic to the United States and has become super-popular. This low-impact, cardio-based fitness class is a full-body work out that has you hopping, jumping, skipping, jogging, dancing and kicking your way to a better body (my instructor even incorporated some Irish river dancing moves too!). The Promise: My instructor, Tomas, promised me that I would be out of breath within the first 15 minutes, and I was. He said that this nonstop work out is a great way to strengthen and tighten your legs and tush, build up your stamina and also tone your abs. Lose weight and gain muscle with Kangoo Jumps \u2014 it&amp;#039;s really the best of both worlds!  The Real Deal: Let&amp;#039;s just say, by the end of the hour-long class, I was completely drenched in sweat (literally, from head to toe). It was a non-stop workout of jumping, kicking, turning, jogging and dancing\u2014and let&amp;#039;s not forget that I had to keep my arms constantly moving too (lifting, curling, stretching, the works!). Throughout the entire class I really could feel the burn in my thighs, shoulders, butt, calves, and even my abs (hopping on one leg in those boots, and not tipping over is really hard). But what made it so much fun was that it was more like a dance party than a fitness class \u2014 Tomas made sure that he had the hottest tunes to blast in order to keep the class jumpin&amp;#039; and movin&amp;#039;. I actually loved it so much that I went back the next day for more! I&amp;#039;m totally going to add Kangoo Jumps to my weekly fitness routine, permanently.  Find a Class Near You: So far, it seems like only some Crunch gyms in New York City and Miami offer this Kangoo Jumps class, but you can definitely try checking online to see if there&amp;#039;s a Kangoo Jumps program near you. Or if you&amp;#039;re already sold on this new trend, you can purchase your own pair of Jumps online\u2014but warning, they&amp;#039;re pretty pricey (prices range from $179 to $275).   Not too sure if you want to try it? If you&amp;#039;re skeptical about signing up for a Kangoo Jumps class, you can check it out through some Youtube videos to see if this is something you would want to do.
