Trampoline Health Benefits For 2022

Can you really get a good workout on a trampoline? How can jumping up and down be anything beneficial? You would be surprised at the benefits your body reaps from a rebounding workout. We have put together a list of trampoline health benefits for 2022 — whether you use an in-ground or an above-ground trampoline, here’s to your great health in the new year!

A trampoline workout gives you a full-body workout and all of that happens without a jarring impact on your bones, joints and muscles. You don’t even have to have a specific workout to gain benefits. Just get on and jump!

 Trampoline Health Benefits For 2022

In a nutshell, the health benefits from jumping on a trampoline occur because you generate g-forces and those help to burn fat and muscle quickly. Doing this — building muscle and burning fat — will firm up all parts of your body all while helping improve your balance and overall agility.

To back up these claims, a study conducted by NASA found that jumping on a trampoline is close to 70% more effective than jogging for thirty minutes. Another study performed by the American Council on Exercise found a trampoline workout of fewer than twenty-minutes will burn as many calories as running for six miles. And let’s face it, rebounding is a lot more fun than running, right!

Here are five additional benefits of getting a workout on your trampoline

  1. A jump mat will absorb close to 80% of the impact when you jump and will also buil musculokeletal and cardiovascular workout.
  2. Your circulation increases
  3. You will get better core strength from the full boday trampoline workout
  4. Jumping on a trampoline will increase the flow of lymphatic fluids in your body and this helps your immune system and helps cleanse your body of harmful waste
  5. When you run for a half an hour you will burn up to 300 calories (and inflict jarring potential damage) but when you bounce on a trampoline you will burn as many calories in a safer way.

It may not look like it, but a trampoline workout is a vigorous aerobic workout that your body will thank you for.

Beat the heat on your trampoline

Summer will be here soon enough or if you live in an area of the country where you’re blessed with almost year-round summer and trampoline weather the in-ground and above-ground trampoline experts have tips for how to beat the heat on your trampoline.

One of the biggest tips is to stop jumping in the hottest hours of the day where you live. In most areas of the country the hottest times are between 10 am and 4 pm. Jumping during those hours could lead to sunburn and that will certainly take away some of the fun of having jumped! To prevent sunburn, wear sunblock, wear a hat and wear long sleeved shirts.

Beat the heat on your trampoline

You can add water — with caution. The water will make the jump mat slippery so it’s best if you wear trampoline shoes to help you get traction. Sprinkle water from the hose onto the jump mat and let the splashing water cool you down. Add some water-filled balloons and have a water balloon fight on the trampoline. Make sure if there is more than one person on the trampoline that they are approximately the same weight so there are no crash accidents.

Add a shade on top of the trampoline safety net. This is likely only going to work for those youngest and shortest jumpers in the family. The sunshade will keep the sun from beating down on your shortest jumpers and lets them get in some jump time even if it’s hot, hot, hot.

Stay hydrated. Jumping on a trampoline may not seem like exercise, but it is and because of that you need to stay hydrated, especially if you’re out in the sun. Keep water bottles close by and ensure everyone is drinking regularly.

If you don’t want to jump on the trampoline in the heat of the day, drape blankets around the edges of the trampoline and crawl under and have a trampoline fort picnic!

New Years Resolutions for Healthy Seniors

Aging brings with it wisdom but it also brings with it, aches, pains and slowing down. The slowing down is what ages us the most. Ask your doctor — he or she will agree to staying physically and mentally active is the best way to live a longer, healthier and happier life. We have new years resolutions for healthy seniors that include jumping — rebounding — on a trampoline.

Balance and stability wane as we age and that’s what leads to falls and injuries in senior citizens, but it doesn’t have to happen to you. You can keep bones strong, muscle mass intact and joints flexible. Jumping on a trampoline also helps with coordination and core strength.

One of the best exercises for seniors is in-ground or above ground trampoline-based. Rebounding helps maintain stability, balance and maximizes quality of life.

New Years Resolutions for Healthy Seniors

Not everyone has access to a trampoline, or knows how to get into a rebounding routine or has not yet asked his or her doctor to see if you’re healthy enough to start this workout.

  1. It’s low impact. You won’t put stress or strain on muscles and joints and this is a concern if you have arthritis.
  2. It has cardiovascular benefits. Rebounding helps lower blood pressure, strengthens your heart muscles and improves circulation.
  3. It benefits bone density. Trampolines give a gentle impact workout that strengthens bones and prevents osteoporosis or bone fractures.
  4. Balance and stability improvement. Jumping will strengthen leg muscles and balance.
  5. It’s just plain fun! Truly, if you are going to work out, shouldn’t it be fun!
  6. Your grandchildren and your adult children will also love and benefit from jumping on a trampoline!

An in-ground trampoline is ideal if you have a yard that you don’t want to make an impact with its sightlines. An in-ground, sometimes called a garden trampoline fits right into the landscape because they fit into a hole in the ground. They’ve virtually invisible — well unless you’re jumping on it!

An above-ground trampoline is ideal if you have a large yard and if you aren’t sure if you’re going to be staying long-term in your home. Yes, you can take your inground trampoline with you, but you will have to fill in the hole and then dig another at your new home.

Trampolines are popular as an activity for the entire family; children love them and adults enjoy the exercise benefits. They’re fun, healthy and won’t lead to injury like running or jogging will. But you do need to be safe and responsible every time you use it.

Buying a trampoline can be tricky.

  1. What size trampoline should you buy
  2. Should you get an in-ground or above ground?
  3. How much can you afford?
  4. What safety devices should you invest in?
  5. Is there room for a trampoline? Look for any overhead hazards

Consider its use.

  1. Know the weight of the heaviest person who will use it. You may have three children but don’t let more than one child use the trampoline at a time.
  2. Choose a size that will grow with the family.
  3. Find a flat surface for it.
  4. If you get an above ground trampoline, make sure you have tie downs for it.
  5. Invest in the highest quality mat and springs you can.
  6. The more springs the better as a way to ensure longevity and performance
  7. Trampoline safety nets and surrounds should be considered must-haves. These are worth the extra expense.
