Trampolines and Exercise

Tweet

It's finally Spring here and we set up the trampoline, that had been given to us by my sister when we moved into our house, in our backyard over the weekend. It is a big full size trampoline with a 13 foot wide pad for jumping on. It took a couple days before we got ot totoally level and safe to use, but it's ready now. I had never jumped on a trampoline until last night, but when I did I discovered that is actually really fun! This morning when I got up I decided to come online and research trampoline exercise, just to see how beneficial it is. Did you know that 15 minutes of trampoline exercise is the equivalent to 40 minutes of jogging? My new plan now is to try to spend at least 10 or 15 minutes a day on the trampoline, and that should be great for my daily exercise. Do you use a trampoline for exercise? If so, do you do any other exercise on a regular basis or do you find the trampoline jumping to be enough?
