5 Great Trampoline Exercise Routines
Trampolines are great for cario exercise Get a trampoline for a great cardio workout 1. Slow Exercise Build-up As with any exercise, the important rule is to build up the exercise gently and to make sure you look after your body. Doing too much too quickly can often result in injury and can defeat the point of the exercise. Slow and steady wins the race ! 2. A Gentle Warm Up As a very gentle warm up, you can stand on the centre of the trampoline bed with you feet about shoulder-width apart. Gently, without lifting your heels or toes from the trampoline, use the spring of the trampoline bed to move yourself up and down. This gentle exercise will not make you short of breath and it is not strenuous enough to make you sweat. However it requires co-ordination and gentle muscle exertion. You can continue this for as long as you wish for maximum benefit. 3. The Vertical Spring This exercise provides gentle toning throughout your muscle system and helps to clean toxins from the lymphatic system. It is done by springing up from the centre of the trampoline bed in one movement - lifting both your feet in one movement. This exercise is very popular with athletes in particular due to it's overall toning benefits. 4. The Bouncing Jog Routine This exercise literally involves jogging on the spot. Standing in the centre of your trampoline or rebounder, start with a gentle warm up and gradually turn it into a vertical spring as described above and then start to jog. Lift your knee up as far as you can with each step and this allows you to maximise the oxygen intake into your lungs. Keep this up for three minutes before reverting back to the vertical spring before winding it down. 5. Vertical Spring Disco This is like the up in one go exercise but with a twist. When you reach the top of your jump, your body will hover motionless for a split second. At this point you can introduce dance moves - the twist, the star and various other shapes in time to the music. You can introduce new moves to your favourite dance routines. This will allow you to improve on the body areas upon which you wish to concentrate. Be careful though not to overdo it.
