Starting Trampoline Workouts
- Begin Slowly: If you’re new to trampoline jumping, start with just a few minutes at a time. You can work your way up to longer sessions.
- Basic and Advanced Moves: Once comfortable with basic moves like the tuck jump and seat drop, practice more advanced tricks like the front or backflip.
- Benefits of Trampolining: Trampolining works your cardiovascular system, tones muscles in legs, arms, and core, and can improve balance and coordination.
Setting up a Trampoline
- Assemble the frame and legs first.
- Attach the mat to the frame using the springs and hooks.
- Place the protective pad over the springs.
Trampoline Safety Reminders
- Be sure to warm up before you start jumping and cool down afterwards with stretches.
- Stop immediately if you ever feel pain.
- Find a good class; don’t try to self-teach unless you have experience.
What age should you start trampolining?
Trampolining can be very dangerous if used improperly or without caution. It’s great exercise for building cardio, coordination, and strength, and it’s easy on the joints too.
