Jumping on mini trampoline may sound like kids' stuff, but trampolining or rebounding, as it is also know provides a high impact cardiovascular workout that's kinder to the joints than either jogging or tennis.
The trampoline surface absorbs 80 percent of the shock, protectiong the joints while giving your muscles a good workout. Repeated jumping on the trampoline helps to strengthen the musculoskeletal system by putting bones under slight stress repeatedly.
Another plus is that it burns 700 calories in an hour, making it abig workout hit in Mexico, Chile and Argentina. But aside from being fun to do, rebounding raises the muscle strength of lower limbs, increases and improves body balance, and the contraction of stabilisers.
Before you even step onto a mini trampoline, you ought to check its sturdiness by inspecting the frame and the surface for signs of wear and tear. This is especially importance if the mini trampoline you used is not the new.
There are some other precautions to take when using a mini trampoline. When stepping onto trampoline, step forward, but when exiting, remember to take step backward. Usually after a session on trampoline, people are little disoriented from jumping and might fall if they exit by stepping forward.
