1. Trampoline Workout:
A Safe and Fun Way to
Shed the Pounds

2. For many, trampolines are a relic of their childhood and not exactly a useful implement in
working out. On the contrary, this rather simple device allows the body to perform extensive
exercises that are arguably more engaging and effective in reducing weight.
The idea of ‘rebounding’ for health isn’t exactly new, but very few people know how beneficial it
is in improving overall health and fitness.
Safer
Cardiovascular
Exercises
Perhaps the most
obvious health benefit
of using trampolines is
improved
cardiovascular fitness.
A simple 30-minute
workout on a
trampoline has similar
health benefits as
running on a treadmill
or performing regular
cardiovascular
exercises.
The differences aren’t
exactly considerable,
but they are ideal for
those who have
injuries. Compared to
a treadmill, a half-
hour workout on the
trampoline is also a
safer alternative for
people at an advanced
age. It also has the
additional benefit of
increasing leg
strength.

3. Stronger Bones
Trampoline exercises may look fun, but
they are arguably more strenuous activities
as they put more pressure on the
musculoskeletal system. Constant
rebounding and repetition of trampoline
exercises help strengthen the bones.
Although the expose people to slight stress,
which may be dangerous, the trampoline
itself soaks most of the impact, protecting
the bones and the more vulnerable joints
from unnecessary straining and damage.
Constant rebounding on the trampoline
also helps increase the body’s overall
flexibility. It is also a good warm-up to
more demanding exercise like aerobics or
aerial yoga.
Improved Metabolism
Finally, exercising using trampolines helps
increase the body’s metabolic rate, which
not only gets more blood pumping into the
system, but it also helps the body process
food and nutrients more efficiently. Even
short trampoline exercises, so long as they
are done regularly, help shed pounds
considerably.
Although there’s no denying how beneficial
trampoline exercises are in improving
health and reducing weight, they work best
as supplementary exercises or a prelude to
more intense workout routines. Proper diet
is also necessary; after all, abs are made in
the kitchen, not in the gym.
