Bungy Pump
Publié le 02 octobre 2023Bungy Pump is a new activity at the FFRandonnée. It is a more energetic version of Nordic Walking with a new type of spring-loaded poles.
It is a fast-growing discipline that has really taken off in France in recent years: leisure sport, fitness, shape, and health, this new discipline combines all the benefits you could wish for in a sporting activity.
"It improves walkers' posture, burns more calories and involves almost every muscle in the body! It's a gentle discipline accessible to everyone, and one that has already convinced many French people". – 20 Minutes
Equipment
The Bungy Pump is a walking stick with a 20 cm pump system and a resistance that can vary from 4 to 10 kg depending on the model. The “Walkathlon” model has a lockable pump system. These poles can be used for many purposes: rehabilitation, health, fitness, hiking, Nordic walking, etc.
Partnership

Sports development & training
Thanks to its new partner, the Federation intends to provide the conditions that will enable clubs to diversify their activities to the delight of their members. But proposing a new discipline is not easy! To remedy this, the FFRandonnée has thought of everything: training leaders and helping them to prepare the content of their sessions!
To train club activity leaders in this new discipline, the Federation will offer a Bungy Pump training course in conjunction with this new partner. The objective is to enable these new trainers to set up their own training courses. Well-trained activity leaders, ready to explain the discipline with knowledge and mastery, are the key to success!
