Who doesn't like jumping up and down? Kids do it in
excitement and anticipation of presents or of going to the movies. Adults
do it when they receive that long awaited promotion, or when they find out
that they are finally expecting a baby and sports fans jump up and down
wildly when their team scores that winning point! Jumping up and down is a
natural human condition and really gets your heart pumping too.
Trampoline exercise is cardiovascular in nature because it gets your pulse
racing and the movements can be sustained for 30 minutes, which is the
recommended time for healthy adults to exercise 3 times a week.
You may not be able to do 30 minutes right away on the trampoline, as
exercise is something you may need to increase gradually especially if you
are not used to doing it on a regular basis. Always consult a physician
before starting any exercise program, especially if you normally have a
sedentary lifestyle, or if you have any chronic health issues.
The continuous jumping motions strengthen your leg muscles, back muscles
and increase your endurance level. It also helps to tone muscles all over
your body including your arm and abdominal muscles. When your endurance
level increases you can do better with other sports like swimming and
jogging. You will find that when you tone up and improve your endurance
those incidences of huffing and puffing as you climb hills or stairs will
disappear because you will be in better physical shape. You will find that
you can lift heavier objects and do tasks that require strength for longer
periods of time.
When you build muscle you increase your metabolism and you can lose
weight.
Trampoline exercise Improves Your Body in Many Ways:
The increased heart rate from jumping improves your oxygen intake.
Not only does the movements performed while on a trampoline improve muscle
tone, it improves your lymphatic circulation which could regulate your
cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
The exercise time spent on the trampoline helps maintain healthy joints
because when your joints move they help lubricate and this can improve
joint health.
Your balance will improve and your coordination too.
Exercising on a trampoline is such great exercise for adults, what about
kids?
Kids love to jump too! They have a real need to jump just ask any mom how
many times her sofa, couch or bed has been used for this activity? They
never seem to tire of jumping and let’s face it the sofa or bed is not
exactly a safe place for jumping because the resistance is not all that
great and kids can go flying across the room. The 40" Mini Trampoline is
only 8" off the floor, so your kids will be safer than jumping on your
furniture!
Most kids today spend a lot of time sitting doing schoolwork, watching TV
or playing electronic games; trampoline exercise balances their activity
level. To them, jumping on the trampoline is play but adults know that
what kids are doing is called exercise. They are working leg, back, and
arm muscles. They are making their hearts pump and building endurance that
will aid them in so many other necessary physical tasks that they need to
do each day. They are becoming healthier and stronger and more alert as
they learn new movements. Trampoline exercise is the perfect way for obese
children to lose weight in a fun way that you won’t have to nag them to
do. An essential part of maintaining a healthy weight for children
involves proper nutrition, proper sleep and adequate amounts of safe
exercise every day. What better way to get kids to exercise than to
provide them with a safe way to do what they love to do – jump! |
