((BOUNCE)) ((BOUNCE)) ((BOUNCE)) Mini trampoline fitness sounds good fun. Lisa tried it and she’s now a convert ((BOUNCE)) IS A worldwide fitness phenomenon using mini trampolines for fitness, suitable for all ages and abilities. t’s run as a franchise and Michelle it maurice runs the Stamford division. Classes are held most days of the week at the Stamford Welland Academy, mainly in the evening e cept for Saturdays. You can book online with individual classes starting at . or group bookings with a discount. Classes vary but was going to try ((BO NCE and BO and yes, that is how it is spelt. went with an open mind, not uite sure what to e pect, but ready to enjoy myself - and hoped that Michelle wouldn’t kill me. Their motto is fun, friendly, fierce and can definitely agree with this. Also it’s addictive, and am addicted now! Eightyseven percent of shock is absorbed by the trampoline compared to oor based e ercise, so the low impact, weight bearing activity strengthens bones and stimulates the smaller stabilising muscles in and around joints improving muscle strength, e ibility and overall joint health,’ just one of the benefits of using a trampoline to e ercise on. Michelle is a positive, friendly person who immediately made me feel at ease. She
motivates and keeps everyone bouncing to the rhythm of the music. lashing disco lights also adds to the atmosphere and it’s good fun! Everyone was friendly with many regulars who told me that it takes a few sessions - about three - to get used to the moves, get your balance and enjoy it. t’s low impact but intense and you can bounce as hard or as little as you like, to suit yourself really. At first it’s a bit strange bouncing whilst moving into di erent positions but you soon find your balance and just go with it the music certainly helps. found myself giggling away during the workout, it’s just so much fun and kept thinking about how many calories must be burning. Motivation in itself. The first minutes of the class are spent bouncing and e ercising then another minutes lying on the trampoline doing toning e ercises. was impressed with the fitness of the others in the group and am determined to match them. would recommend ((BO NCE to anyone who is looking to keep fit, tone up, lose weight and have fun at the same time loved it and didn’t fall o once!
And then had a go at BO which is a bo ing based workout. oing Bo straight after ((BO NCE was a big contrast as you do this mainly without the trampoline. You warm up and then start the bo ing moves, a combination of punches and kicks against a free-standing punch bag. You soon get the hang of it. What you do on the right you always match on the left. Again doing this to music was great fun. Then you hop on the trampoline for some H T which really enjoyed. t’s intense but you just have to keep going, bouncing away. found doing the two classes really helpful. ((BO NCE being a low impact full body workout and with BO you can concentrate on your upper body and arms. have now been to ((BO NCE every week since my first class and have upped it to twice a week, and BO once a week. As said, it’s addictive. Give it a go, ’ll see you there! www.bouncefitbody.com www.bookwhen.com/ bouncestamford#focus=evscbo-20220713183000 @fitzbounce @bouncestamford
