How To Lose Weight
If you own a trampoline, you already know that it is a great way to get out of the house, and into the
fresh air. Did you also know that it’s benefiting your health? Jumping up and down on a trampoline is
great for strengthening the cardio-vascular system and it is also an excellent workout for almost
every muscle and organ of the body. Exercising on a trampoline can also be very helpful for adults
and children because it helps to improve reflexes, flexibility, balance and coordination.
One way to enhance not only the fun aspect of the trampoline, but also increase the health benefits,
is by putting a little extra effort into your jumping by doing some tricks! There’s lot of tricks that can
done on the trampoline, from the beginner level to the advanced. Here’s a few of them beginning
with some basics including additional tips to ensure safety and avoid injury.
‘Landing on the Back’ is one of the first, basic trampoline tricks any bouncer should learn and its very
simple. Stand motionless on the trampoline with your arms at your sides or even with your hands in
your front pockets. Fall backwards onto the trampoline, keeping your body straight and your head
up. As your back meets the trampoline, let your head meet it naturally too, don’t jerk or twist it. You
will bounce back up and then you can do it again, over and over until you achieve a good rebounding
height. The more you practice this trick, the higher you will bounce back and forth!
Here’s an intermediate trampoline trick you can do once you’ve master the basic Back Landing trick.
Begin the same way, standing straight and motionless, with arms at your sides or hands in your
pockets. Fall straight back again, but when you bounce back up, land on your knees instead! The
motion will keep sending you back and forth so you can repeat the trick as many times as you want.
Some advanced trampoline tricks include somersaults and flips. Either of these can be done
backwards or forwards, but you should be very comfortable and confident with your bouncing
abilities before attempting either of them. Once you’ve got the flip down, you spice it up by adding a
spin to it.
