First and foremost, PowerBocking is a form of exercise that is a whole load of FUN . It’s an ingenious way to get Australians moving and active.
One of the hardest things about exercise is that it’s often a tedious drudgery we put ourselves through, but with AirRunners the time flies! Who hasn’t dreamt of flying?
How about running with the wind streaming through your hair? …..
Or taking giant moon-bounds so effortlessly? …..
PowerBocking gives you new powers to live your dreams.
PowerBocking is an awesome way to get an adrenaline and endorphin rush.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the fun of bounding and leaping and defying the laws of gravity, that you may not realise that your entire cardiovascular system is being strengthened. That right, jumping, running and bouncing like this is a big calorie burner, which leads to weight loss. And the good thing – the bow helps cushion your joints which reduces the chance of joint pain and shin splints. It’s a great alternative to running.
Not only are your heart and lungs working and becoming stronger, but so too are the muscles in your legs. In fact, many people comment on how they have lost inches from their thighs and buttocks by using AirRunners as the muscles quickly adapt to jumping and become firm and toned. Your lower body and your whole midsection are strengthened and toned with each jump. If you think this is just a sales claim, I challenge you to try a pair for half an hour!
In addition to working your cardiovascular system and your muscular system, you are also working another system – your proprioceptive fibres. These help to improve your balance and stability, and are particularly useful for improving sporting skills.
And the mental benefits are numerous – improved self confidence,
reduced depression, and AirRunners are a great social activity to enjoy with your friends. Why not look at our community page to find other locals and go on a weekend PowerBocking trek?
PowerBocking is really a whole experience – you break through your boundaries, expand your mind, and workout your body.
