Trampoline Movements That Are Different
You may not know this but jumping on a trampoline for about ten minutes is like jogging for a mile. Even after you have been jumping for ten minutes it still doesn't feel like you have gone that distance.
There is no reason for you to be afraid of looking silly while bouncing on a trampoline. If you can believe it, the trampoline has received many accolades for the many benefits it can bring to the health of the body, young and old alike. You most likely cannot use that itty-bitty trampoline you bought for the kids to expend their energies on, but you can certainly find an outdoor trampoline that fits you.
There are public facilities where you can find trampolines. You can try those out before deciding on what size and shape of trampoline you should buy. Fitness trampolines in public areas are usually safeguarded by learned trainers so you can ask them about the specifics of the trampoline you should buy. Additionally, you can also ask these trainers to show you a couple of moves that can help you get started on an exercise regimen.
Once you have you outdoor trampoline set up in the backyard, you can try the following simple movements. Just make sure you start with some easy jumping before you try anything too complicated. You will find that easy jumping in itself is a great exercise routine to begin with. What you do is stand on the canvass with you feet about shoulder with apart and maintain your balance. Once you can maintain your balance without falling over or leaning or swaying start with a gentle bounce. You do not need to force yourself to reach heights that gymnast can. Remember, you are just starting out. Just go slow and before you know it you will be reaching height that you are comfortable with.
When you have reached that comfortable height (bouncing, of course) you can try jumping jacks like you do on the floor. Repeat until you have mastered this movement. A more complicated move would be to try raising your knee. Again, you do not have to force yourself to get this on the first try. You need to maintain your balance in this exercise. While bouncing, raise one knee as you go up. Keep on trying until you can lift your knee up to your waistline. Do the same for the other knee. Afterwords, you can try alternating the knees as you bounce. You can even try lifting both knees up as you bounce and then getting them down right before you land. However, this move would require a little bit more height.
A Challenging move for your coordination try this move raising one leg and one arm simultaneously as you jump. If you try to imagine yourself in a pool of water this is very similar to jumping on a fitness trampoline well except for the landing of course. Try to raise your left arm with your left leg together, then alternate with your right side.
There are many more moves you can do on the trampoline. One way to find more moves is to ask a professional trainer or you can go to youtube and watch some videos online. A safety reminder though, always consult your doctor is you are suffering from any ailment that may prevent you from doing any exercising on a outdoor trampoline.
