Benefits of using a Trampoline
Low
Impact
Unlike some sports like jogging and tennis, trampolining has relatively low joint impact for a high impact exercise routine. The trampoline pad and springs absorb over 80% of the shock from your vertical acceleration and deceleration. Hard surfaces such as roads do not. This means that trampolining protects your joints whilst exercising your muscles. Jumping on a trampoline burns a similar amount of calories as jogging.
Trampolining increases your
muscle strength and fitness. The increase to your pulse rate by jumping improves
your heart and circulation and ensures that oxygen is pumped round your body
more efficiently, making you feel healthier. It is also an excellent fun way to
control your weight.
Recent studies have found that trampolining is a great
way to release toxins from the body. Due to the G forces created from impact of
the trampoline mat and up to
weightlessness when floating in the air, this causes the cells in the body to
contract and swell forcing out toxins in the process.
Trampoline exercise has been
proven to increase your metabolic rate, helping your body to process food more
efficiently. This helps to control your weight.
Trampolining uses a variety of
muscles. This helps keep your stomach trim, your bottom tight and your thighs
slim. The exercise and muscle control required when jumping on a trampoline is
a really good way to burn fat, tone up and control your weight.
If you own a trampoline, you
don't need to spend huge amounts of money on gym fees, only to find you cannot
find the time to fit it in with your busy schedule. You don't need to fight
with traffic and breath in toxic fumes from trucks and
busses when exercising on your bike. A trampoline also provides privacy as you
can get a complete workout in your own home.
