Kangoo Jumps® Rebound Boots Demo at Wellness Fair, April 18 in VA

Kids know fun when they see it, and the Kangoo Jumps® rebound boots "try 'em on" booth was extremely popular at last year's Rose Hill ES Wellness Fair. We have more boots in smaller sizes this year (and still have plenty of adult-size boots for parents, staff, and random grown-ups).

Starting at 9:30 am, people can come talk with us, try on boots and wear them for a few minutes (in our marked off, supervised area of the gym), and find out where they can take classes locally. I hope to be able to let people know when the next instructor licensing will be offered locally, for other fitness providers who might be interested.

At some point during the Wellness Fair, a few of us will do a brief demonstration of rebound jumping, so everyone can see what you can do in these fabulous boots with a little practice.




Preceding the Wellness Fair, there will be a Kid's Fun Run at 8 am and a 5K Run/Walk at 8:30 am to benefit the Autism Society of America. If you are interested in this, you can find the registration form at www.fcps.edu/rosehilles. If you want to run in rebound boots and don't have your own...contact me and we'll see what we can arrange.

For my local followers who like to help out, I am definitely looking for volunteers to help get people (mostly kids) in and out of boots, supervise the enclosed jumping space, keep order in the line and answer questions, and be part of the on-stage demo. (I don't have a time for the demo yet; will post on Facebook and here when I do.) Whether you can help for a few minutes, or longer, "it takes a village" to make this work smoothly!

For any other instructors out there reading this, I have found that wellness fairs and similar demo opportunities are great opportunities for introducing people to Kangoo Jumps rebound boots. Five minutes in boots and they realize they won't fall, they really can balance, and it's SO MUCH FUN! Then it's up to you to keep them coming back for more.

Questions? Leave them here as comments, or find me on Facebook and ask, or if you know me then you know how to find me in person. I'm really looking forward to this event!
