About Our Yoga Bungee Moves Guide

Get your heart pumping, increase your strength, and learn basic bungee skills with this one continual cardio push exercise. In this bungee exercise basics class, we’ll cover beginner bungee fitness moves and learn safety essentials so you can learn how to fine-tune your technique. Let’s begin!

If this is your first online bungee workout class, do a squat to ensure you're comfortable. Stand back up, squat, lean back, and do this a few more times. To ensure you're following proper technique, don’t let your butt hit the floor.

Before we begin our poses and core routines, get used to the bungee and how it feels when it bounces. Walk to the front as far as possible to feel the bungee and then back. Do this step again, but give a little hop each time you walk up. Feel how the bungee cord works, and get comfortable with how it will hold you. Before you know it, you'll be ready to run and jump!

The second thing you should do on a bungee will depend on your fitness level. If you cannot get on the floor yet, come up with a simple step to use the bungee. Have some simple exercises you can do with the help of the bungee, and remember to make it fun. Also, know that the bungee can assist you in intervention. Try doing regular push-ups. If you can do those, try diamond push-ups or Superman push-ups.

Remember, you will get less help if you're right underneath your bungee. If you need extra help, come to the front of your bungee. The farther you are away, the more it helps. There are some more movements you can do on the ground. You can hop back and forth, spin, and jump halfway or jump all the way. You can change the bungee or use a step stool to move it up or down.

A lot of people like to start with a bungee low because they feel more comfortable. Once they get used to the bungee, they give it up just a bit because they're more comfortable.

Now, we'll do the Tinker Bell. To do this pose, walk out to the right to the end of the bungee. If you can no longer walk farther, you need to jump. Take steps back to where there's no slack, squat, go to the left until you can no longer walk, and then jump.

Next time, go a bit faster. Do four slopes to get the feel of it. After that, you can go higher, and it gets more fun. The more comfortable you are, the higher you get. You can also take your shoes off as a lot of your comfort depends on the floor you have. Now that you are comfortable, you can do a stretch. You want to be sure that you get your arms and neck stretched out because you will hold your head up when you fly.

There are a couple of ways to fly. Grab the bungee and go down; walk while you touch the floor. Then take and pick your leg up and flow around. Once you get that move mastered and you're comfortable, take your body and have fun.

If you do a hard workout, you may get really dizzy. Feel free to take breaks if you do hip training or a high-intensity workout. The more you lean out on your bungee, the better break you get.

You can do so many movements with the bungee, like basketball squats. To do basketball squats, get in the basketball stand and squat all around. It is hard to stop as it takes so much energy. If you do it one way, do it the other as well. If you notice, the more you lean out, the more it helps you. You don't easily get tired from this exercise because the wind feels good on your face.

Another thing you can do is hop and focus on your arms. Turn your arms so that both sides will be worked out. You can go on your bungee with a jump. You can do circles three times, doing one arm at a time.

A great ab workout you can do on your bungee is called Karaoke. You see football players do it a lot. This movement is good if you want to focus on your stomach. Karaoke is just stepping out and stepping back. You can go around three times and always go the other way.

After doing the karaoke pose, take a rest. After your rest, begin some fat-burning exercises. The running man and basketball squat movements are really great for cardio.

Not only do you get a running leg workout, but the running leg pose will also affect your abs. You need to go as fast as possible so you can jump around. Jump higher and keep doing it a few times, usually eight times.

There's one more cardio exercise that works your thighs or butt. Get the squat position, basketball side at the end of your bungee, and jump. Do this on the other end.

After all that running, you may want a little break, so always take some free time on the swing. Always remember that everybody's going to go at their own pace. You can get a great workout no matter what your level is. This was the beginner bungee workout.

If you haven’t exercised or are a little bit more overweight and unable to do these movements yet, you can do a low-impact workout with simple poses. Remember to do the small things, like coming to the front of the bungee and taking a step forward or back, to practice. It won't be long until you can do a lot more.

Sling bungee fitness is really good for your knees and joints. If it's something you can't normally do, the bungee can help you do interventions. This is a beginner's workout, so remember always to make it fun!
