Headed to China to Empower Women in the World Academy for the Future of Women!

After many months of preparation, the day has finally arrived! So got the bags packed. One suitcase filled with food just in case the food doesn't agree with me. Thoughts racing through my head....did I remember everything? Kangoos are on feet and ready to BOUNCE! Managed to make it through ALL the checkpoints in all the different countries TSA approved with a BIG smile. Met people from all over the world. The Kangoos were at least a great conversation starter!

Flight wasn't too bad other than 20 some hours of travel.

Was greeted at the airport by three World Academy Members holding a sign welcoming me to China and Sias University!

I've never experienced such a warm welcome going to a new country! The Academy Members faces were lit up like Christmas trees as we were all about to embark on a new adventure!

As we drove to the University, the students began to tell me about their projects they were working on for the World Academy for the Future of Women.

The first Academy member spoke of her HIV project where a group of students did a gala fundraiser where they sold tickets and provided refreshments. 

The next student spoke of her project of the free lunch program where many meals would be provided so less children would go hungry.

And the male academy member for the Future of Women spoke of spending time with children with mental disabilities. Their project is called Warm Hearts. He also spoke of its not always raising money but actually spending time is also very valuable.

To see the light in the students’ eyes as they spoke about their projects, warmed my heart.

So many experiences to share these students already have a place in my heart by their compassion, their eagerness to learn, and most importantly to pave the way for others by being Global Citizens!

109 Year-Old Man Exercising in Kangoo Jumps!

Have you ever asked a friend to do something different and their response was, Oh I Could never do that, I'm too OLD! I personally have had that happen with many people I meet from all over the country.

Many people allow FEAR to get the best of them and STOP them from their fullest potential.

What would YOU do if you knew you could not FAIL?

I just recently met a 109 year old man that truly inspired me! Bernando is a man with a positive outlook on life and is willing to take risks and stay proactive in keeping in such great health, even at 109!

Here is a video of Bernando demonstrating how easy it is to use Kangoo Jumps!

If Bernando can do this, so can you! Check this out!




This Video was filmed at the Kangen Health & Wellness Center.

I Ran PF Changs Half Marathon in the Kangoo Jumps!!!

You are probably thinking to yourself, what the heck are Kangoo Jumps? They look like rollerblades with circular like springs on the bottom. Now...I'm sure you are wondering why on earth would someone want to RUN a Half Marathon in them??
1) Because we can.
2) They take 80% of the shock off the joints.
3) Burn an additional 25% more calories to your workout.
4) It's a great CORE workout!
5) Make exercising FUN!
6) Help improve muscle recovery time.
7) and at least 26.2 other benefits!!!

Some of us are a little CRAZY and like to experiment with different training modalities to see how we can maximize our workout time and burn the most calories with the least amount of impact on our body.
As runners, we all know that the liklihood of getting some sort of injury running can be very high. That is one of the big reasons why I love running in the Kangoo Jumps so much!
Several months ago, I had a knee injury and was told by the physical therapist to stay away from any impact sports and only workout on the eliptical machine. I slowly started introducing the Kangoo Jumps and was amazed at how quickly my body recovered from the injury. I'm finding more and more people that have always wanted to run but never did because of how jarring it can be on the body. Many of these individuals are now able to run with the Kangoo Jumps absorbing 80% of the shock off of the body! Also, people that use to be runners that are now suffering from injuries,hip and knee pain and some are now able to run again without the additional impact on the body!!
I'm honestly not sure how many people around the world have attempted to run full or half marathons in the Kangoo Jumps.
Then, to add another twist, having type 1 Diabetes.
It was a lot easier then I thought...however, my other teammates may beg to differ.
Pick your poison, 7.8 pounds heavier and 80% of the shock off of the joints.
I say, take the shock off the joints and burn an extra 25% more calories!!

What a WORKOUT!!!

There was 1 minor thing to be aware of when running in the Kangoo Jumps;
Make sure to wear tall socks with sufficient padding and be aware of any previous history of pronation or supination. As when you are getting started, the body will take a little time to get readjusted to a new kind of footwear!

Kangoo Jumpin' with Kyna!!

You are all probably wondering....what the heck are Kangoo Jumps???
Hmmm....Let me start out by saying...they are a Highly addictive piece of fitness equipment that reduces 80% of the shock in your body, helps in increasing your vertical, brings more oxygen to the body, increases endorphins, increases bone density, works the entire lymphatic system, helps in aiding weightloss...other than that...they don't do a whole lot!
One of my favorite things to do in my Kangoo Jumps is go running in them! Ok well they are also a lot of FUN going clubbing in the Kangoo Jumps! Plus..for some of us that are a little short, they make great platforms with a little extra bounce!

Did I mention, kids LOVE them too?! One of my training clients actually said, "These would be great for my son with ADD!!"

Stay tuned for more fun and Krazy adventures with Kangoo Jumpin With Kyna!
