IV. Conditioning for Bungee Classes

• What level of fitness is required for bungee classes? Bungee Fitness is excellent for all levels!

However, how to prepare will depend on the class you are taking. If you are a beginner, there is nothing wrong with showing up and not knowing much about fitness; however, to advance and have even more fun, getting your cardiovascular endurance up will really help. Start walking a mile quickly, and then work your way up to some basic cardio circuits!

At any point during a bungee class or bungee at home, you will be in the harness, ensuring whatever jumping or bouncing or other moves you do, you will have a low-impact landing. Ensure your bungee equipment is well-maintained and properly worn, and bungee fitness will provide you with a safe workout!
• What safety gear and measures are in place during classes? Fitness trainers who run bungee classes need minimum qualifications to provide these classes; this includes CPR and AED qualifications and other specific qualifications depending on where you are in the world. Instructors will have been bungee certified and have training on bungee safety. Make sure when you take a class you are asking what kind of qualifications each instructor and the studio as a whole has.
