Celebrate Grandparents Day On A Trampoline

Posted on by Jump Writer

Did you know statistics show the number one cause of death in older adults is a fall? In fact, if you have a fall that leads to a hip fracture, you are less likely to ever return to a pre-fall level of activity. We don’t want to be a downer, but we do want to share that staying active is a must! We have tips to celebrate grandparent’s day on a trampoline as a way to stay happy, healthy and active.

If you’re an aging adult, if you have aging parents or if you’re a grandparent who wants to keep up with his or her grandchildren, then an inground or above ground trampoline is an ideal way to stay fit and active.

What are some of the benefits of using an inground or above-ground trampoline for older adults and grandparents?

Is Rebounding Healthier Than Jogging?

Posted on by Jump Writer

We have a trick question for you. Will you burn more calories rebounding on a trampoline than you will jogging? Not such a trick question because you can! If you have ever wondered, is rebounding healthier than jogging? We can tell you it is. The main reason is that when you’re on a trampoline you are landing on a soft surface and when you jog you are pounding the pavement — literally — and that can lead to hip and joint pain.

Here are some fun in-ground and above ground trampoline facts: 

  1. It only takes ten minutes of rebounding to burn as many calories as you would on a thirty minute jog!
  2. Fitness classes are featuring trampoline exercises as a way to offer healthy activities without risk of injury
  3. When you are jumping on a trampoline it never feels like exercise!

Here are 5 reasons to choose to use a trampoline to get fit and healthy

  1. When you jump on a trampoline you won’t cause your knees or hips any injury
  2. You not only get a great workout, you strengthen your lymphatic system and that makes you healthier
  3. You burn more calories in a shorter time
  4. You enhance your balance and coordination and that’s ideal as we age
  5. Wouldn’t you rather get fit in a way that doesn’t feel like work!?

Baby Boomers looking for a way to get into an exercise routine — especially if you’re gaining weight because you’ve been inactive, a trampoline is a way to to just that. Talk with your doctor and let him or her know this is how you are going to get fit — we bet your doc will agree it’s a great idea!
