Bored of the same repetitive workouts? Looking to spruce up your weekly cardio sessions? Bungee fitness could be the answer you’re looking for. 

What is bungee fitness?

So, what exactly is bungee fitness? Well, you might have heard of bungee cords being used as an alternative to resistance bands, and this is similar, except you are attached to a bungee cord suspended from the ceiling. Whilst attached, you can enjoy a weightless workout experience on your own, or with a group of friends. Due to its fun nature, this class has become a favourite among both fitness enthusiasts and beginners.

Why you should get onboard with bungee fitness 

If being attached to a bungee cord wasn’t already great enough, this completely unique and exciting workout does wonders for your joints. By that we mean the bungee cord removes the stress and impact on your joints that you’d usually get in a normal workout. 

As the bungee cord removes some gravity from the workout, exercises are generally made easier, but don’t let that fool you – this is still an intense workout. Bungee fitness classes keep you on the go constantly, and this sort of low but frequent impact, cardio is great for burning fat and building muscle. An added bonus is that you get to fly around whilst attached to a bungee cord.

What are the benefits of bungee fitness?

There’s a plethora of benefits to taking bungee fitness classes, but other than the obvious – that they are a super fun way to keep fit – how else can you benefit? 

Strength and balance 

Being hooked onto a bungee cord can do wonders for your core strength, we promise that it will get your abs burning after just a few bungee burpees. Engaging in gravity defying cardio is also amazing for your balance, what more could you ask for?

Strain free workout 

A great thing about strapping yourself to a bungee cord is that it takes the strain off your body. Bungee cords are shock absorbing and will lessen the impact on your joints, that’s why it’s become a popular workout for all ages. 

If you find yourself recovering from an injury, but you’re still looking to keep fit, bungee workouts are a great way to ease back into your old workout routine. Let the bungee cord take the stress off of your body.

What to expect when arriving at your class

Weight and height is taken into consideration when joining a bungee class for the first time, this ensures that the right level of bungee support is provided. When you arrive at the group session, you’ll be fitted with a harness first and then hooked onto one of the bungee cords attached to the ceiling. Depending on your weight, a second bungee can be attached for additional security.

Next, it’s all about finding your feet, doing a few bounces to get used to the feel of the bungee cord. Then the real workout begins.

What to wear to a bungee class 

Like any other fitness class, wearing gym clothes to your bungee session is a must. We suggest wearing clothing that is form fitting and not too loose – this will help with your overall bungee experience. The harness around your waist can cause some discomfort, so building up layers around this area is definitely recommended.
