Trampoline Exercises Routine
The most simple forms of trampoline exercise are dependent upon
the size of your trampoline. A large outdoor trampoline is best
enjoyed in the fresh air, with ten minutes of vigorous bouncing
providing massive benefits to your mental and physical health.
For indoors fun, why not get some great music going and twist,
jump and dance on your rebounder ? Just like dancing, only
bouncier!
More structured exercise routines include:
Building up your exercise
The important rule with exercise is to look after your body.
Don't push yourself too far, too early: start off with a five or
six minute exercise routine on your trampoline and gradually
build.
Gentle warm up
A gentle exercise you can do, either as a warm up to more
strenuous exercise or in its own right, involves standing on the
trampoline with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Gently,
without lifting your heels or your toes from the trampoline, use
the spring of the trampoline pad itself to move you up and down.
This gentle exercise will not make you short of breath, and is
not strenuous enough to make you sweat; but requires
co-ordination and gentle muscle exertion. Continue for as long
as you wish for maximum benefit.
Vertical Spring
In this exercise, which provides general toning throughout your
muscles and helps you to clean toxins from your lymphatic
system, you literally spring up from the centre of the
trampoline in one movement - lifting both feet from the
trampoline at the same time each time you jump. This is a
popular exercise with athletes due to its overall toning
properties.
Vertical Spring Disco
Like the 'up in one go' trampoline exercise - but with a twist.
At the top of the jump, your body will for a split second hover
motionless. This is the point at which you can introduce dance
moves: twist, star, shape and boogie yourself to fitness to
music. If you have a favorite dance or floor routine, introduce
a new element with each of your favorite tunes. This will allow
you to concentrate on body areas you most want to improve. But
please don't push yourself so hard that it hurts.
Bouncing Jog
In this exercise, you will literally jog on the spot. Standing
on the centre of your trampoline or rebounder, start with a
gentle warm up; gradually turn it into a vertical spring, and
then start to jog. Lift up your knee as far as you can with each
step, to really open up your lungs and cells to the increased
oxygen intake this promotes. Keep this up for three minutes and
then drop back to a Vertical Spring and wind down with the warm
up. |
