Ever danced on a cloud before? Want to feel every cell in your body wake up? That’s what it feels like when you become a baribounce star. When you train on a trampoline, not only are you amping up your calorie burn (tribers burn an average of 600 calories per class), you’re detoxing your body from head to toe. Working against gravity gives your lymphatic system the shake that it won’t get from walking, running, spinning (or really any other kind of movement), making that early morning bounce class the healthiest way to get out of bed.

the truth about bounce
No doubt, the first class is the hardest. “Bouncing down” isn’t all rainbows and sunshine at first. But if you love the idea of mastering that tramp, get your butt back to bari within 10 days of your first bounce class (or barione!). Within those first few days, you’ll have the muscle memory to follow the sequences, find that bouncey sweet spot where you’re abs catch fire and get comfortable enough to fly a little higher in that killer high bounce.

the trampoline toning hit list
Wondering what the link is between flying through the air and sculpting the muscles in your inner thighs? Instability. The trampoline’s unstable surface allows your smaller, stabilizing muscles to contract in order to keep you upright. Feel like you’re falling off balance? Good. When your balance is tested, your ankles get stronger, your leg muscles get firmer and your core gets tighter. Notice your abs tired as @#$% at the end of bounce class? By alternating between an upright and athletic ready position all through class, coupled with a few runs and and high knees to the chest, you’ve just completed something like 6 million* crunches.

*Number completely inaccurate, but the sentiment remains.

what the tribe has to say
80 percent of tribers say that the second class is easier than the first, and 97 percent say that when they took a bari privé focused on bounce elements, they were able to speed up their results and command of the method exponentially. Bottom line, getting back to the trampoline on a regular basis means you’ll get better, sweatier and have a ton more fun while doing something incredible for your body.
