The Physical Advantages of a Trampoline

                                   The Physical Advantages of a Trampoline


If you have paid strict attention to your neighbourhood in recent years you would probably have noticed an increase in the number of trampolines appearing in peoples gardens.  We succumbed to the wishes of our children a few weeks ago and have had no regrets and it is fair to say we both make use of it especially when the children are not looking. 

Although many still see these items as only for children they do without doubt provide excellent opportunities for both children and adults to discover the benefits of a trampoline for exercise and physical fitness as well as for the children to play and jump around on. 




Although it might be convenient to have a separate unit for keeping fit on it is not justified money wise and the trampoline used by the children can easily be used by the adults as well. 

Trampoline activity and exercise differs greatly form other traditional exercises and can make it into a fun time for all.  Any workout for adults can be more challenging simply because they need to learn the intricacies of mastering the apparatus.  It may look easy but as I can confirm it is certainly different from those dreaded physical education lessons at school.  Perhaps it’s the age thing!

The aerobics involved with bouncing around on a fitness trampoline will help to strengthen the heart in the same fashion as running.  Any increase in cardio rate would encourage the use of energy and loss of weight.  Just spending as little as between five and ten minutes on the trampoline is par with running a mile but with far less effort and of course much less time. 

Exercising on the trampoline will help to tone the muscles in the lower part of your body.  The thighs, hips, legs, stomach and abdomen are all involved with trampoline exercise.  A workout on the trampoline can be made into a fun activity for each and every member of the family.

Many athletes will use a trampoline because it helps them improve their coordination.  Trampoline jumping is not just bouncing up and down.  Reaching great height takes a lot of skill as is landing properly.  

Merely getting the hang of the apparatus can become a challenge.  Even though it might take a while you will find that once you learn the basics and they get into your blood the addiction to trampolining will begin. When you start to get proficient you will be able to get higher and consequently more energy efficient when trampolining.

If you have joint problems or knee injuries a rebound or small trampoline will be ideal for you.  Smaller trampolines are not made for high jumping thus there is not so much pressure during exercise on your joints.  There are many other benefits in using fitness trampolines.  Your breathing will be helped because of the increased capacity in the lungs; you should also notice a lowering of your cholesterol levels, a reduction in tension and a definite increase in your energy levels. 


Trampolining is a great way for you to keep in shape and to enjoy it.  Why don’t you get a trampoline and you will find it is really something you can enjoy.

  1. Total trampoline parts comes often cost around 60 or seventy dollars, however they could be more or even less depending on the standard and the retailer that you simply purchase them from. It's wise to avoid replacing a whole set at once by continuing to keep some spare trampoline comes on hand so that you could replace them as required. Thank you for this article
