There can be only a few families who do not own this toy. In fact, the chances are the majority of homes have given over space to this meant-for-the-kids garden product. But have you tried it yourself?

 

We’re talking about a trampoline. And, yes, we’re urging you grown-ups to get on it and have a bounce. Because it’s great for your fitness.

 

To start with you might like to sneak outside for a go on the trampoline (make sure it’s one that is big enough to take your weight!) when your kids have gone to bed. Or arrange for your youngsters to go out with a friend – and then jump on for a practise bounce.

 

Like a growing number of grown-ups across Britain we reckon you are going to absolutely love this kind of keep-fit workout. It’s accessible, highly effective and only takes a quick session or two each day.

 

What’s so good about trampolining?

 

  • Trampolining is an effective all-over-body aerobic and cardiovascular exercise.
  • Health experts claim that trampolining it’s 68% more efficient than jogging.
  • Nasa states that a 10-minute session provides benefits equivalent to a half-hour of running.
  • It’s time efficient because you can bounce when you want, in the privacy of your own garden.
  • Just 10 minutes – and around 200 bounces – makes a great short workout.

 

Bouncing is also great for:

 

  • Developing motor skill and co-ordination.
  • Tightening the muscles of your pelvic floor.
  • Stimulating and cleansing the body's lymphatic system.
  • Helping to enhance body fluid circulation to your body’s cells, thus, some believe, delaying aging.

 

Another way to take advantage of the benefits of bouncing is to buy a Rebounder. Click here to see our rebounders in the shop.

 

A compact rebounder will fit into most homes and because you can bounce indoors you do not need to worry about the weather – or what the neighbours think of you bouncing on your child’s garden trampoline!

 

Thinq Fitness has a great rebounder workout. Click here to see that video.
