Mini Trampoline Exercises
Forget thinking that an aerobic exercise routine has to be done the same old boring way. Now instead of pounding the floor (and hurting your feet and ankles with the unforgiving hardness), you can benefit from mini trampoline exercises.
Not only can you lose weight, but you can keep your feet and ankles from taking such a beating. You’ll get to tighten up your muscles, take off the fat and have a good time while doing it.
There are even studies showing that using a trampoline for your daily exercise routine can help improve your autonomic nervous system. The great news too about using a trampoline (or rebounder) is that you don’t have to be in good shape to get on one and get started.
Whether you just want to lose a few pounds and keep your heart health at an optimal level or you have a lot of pounds to shed, you can easily use a rebounder to slim down and firm up.
Because extra weight can be so hard on the body, there’s often a lot of strain put on the joints when engaging in aerobic exercises if done on a hard surface. By using a rebounder, you can take the pressure of the movements off of your joints.
Even for beginners, it’s easy to get started. As with all types of exercises, you’ll want to warm up first. So do a few bounces to get those muscles nice and limber. Do what you can do and learn to heed the messages your body is saying.
If you’re in pain, stop. Take it a little slower – the get in shape race is not won by who can do the exercises the fastest. It’s won by those who stick with it. So warm up nice and slow at your own pace. A warm up shouldn’t take any more than five to fifteen minutes.
You can do jumping jacks on a trampoline the same way you would do them on a floor. Just make sure that you’re in the middle of the trampoline. You can also do the knee lifts. To do this, stand with your feet side by side.
Lift your left knee up first (like you’re going to go up a stair) and as you bring the knee up, keep your arms in an elbow bent position. To do this, have both your arms in a classic ‘ready to punch’ mode.
Elbows down, fists raised to a few inches below your chin. Alternate each knee. Then switch to the knee meet elbow exercise by moving your elbow down toward your knee. Left elbow toward right knee, right elbow toward left knee. What this does is tighten up your abdominal muscles. If you have trouble with balance, be sure and get a handrail for your trampoline.
Because they’re fun, mini trampoline exercises don’t really feel like a workout but it works the various muscle groups the same way it would if you were doing a hard aerobic exercise. So don’t push it the first day if you’re not used to exercising. You don’t want to get sidelined your first day.
