    • Jumping revolution on giant trampolines in Bounce Abu Dhabi

      Posted at 6:21 pm by witsandnuts, on October 8, 2016

      Bounce Abu Dhabi, Marina Mall

      Do you love to jump? I do! I am fond of happy kind of jumping because it brings me very pleasant memories — like playing and jumping on the streets when I was in grade school, jumping from our ancestral house’s roof to the neighbor’s, and jumping out from the sampaloc (tamarind), lanzones and other trees. The most nostalgic and dearest kind for me was whenever we jump at New Year’s eve (promptly at midnight) since I was a kid because we were told by my grandparents that doing that will make the kids grow taller. Whether it has scientific basis or none, we carried on with this tradition until now that I’m past 30. However, I realized later on that I have never really jumped on a trampoline. But nothing is too late!

      I am delighted when the sort of ‘trampoline park’ (popularly known as Bounce) came to Abu Dhabi. In their well designed trampolines, you may do free jumping, quick drop, zipline, performance trampoline, and more. They offer interesting programs and activities.

      One of the programs that recently kicked off  in Abu Dhabi is Bounce Fit. It is said to be NASA’s recommended fitness routine. While I am not a fitness buff, I shamelessly signed up for the 8:00 AM session today. I usually have my easy Saturday mornings,  (our version of Lionel Richie’s easy Sunday mornings since workweek in UAE starts on Sundays), but today was a little ambitious and exciting. I was nervous and thrilled as I parked opposite the Marina Eye. As I entered Marina Mall, where Bounce is, near Five Guys (how strategic, one gets tired then Five Guys waves at you to eat a family of burgers afterwards haha), I told myself, “Goodluck! Treadmill is not even one of your best friends! You do not even go to the gym.” Continue reading →

      Snapchat-5703935704258315256 Marhaba! That's "hello" in Arabic. I am an expatriate based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). I started writing about my adventures and misadventures few months before arriving here at winter of 2008. I have 2 cats and a dog who live harmoniously together. I am also surrounded by kindhearted, crazy, funny and indescribable humans! I was a dormant blogger for almost 3 years because of countless reasonable justifications like watching football, postgraduate studies, sleeping, traveling, caring for the world, and more! :) I am just so happy that I am back! It is never too late to catch up with the people and things we really care about. Feel free to look around.
