As with any training, it depends on your goals. We have put together the information for you about what the trampoline workout brings, the advantages and disadvantages for home use and what you can train with it. There are also a few mini trampoline moves for you to try out, which we would like to introduce to you.
Trampoline workout: training effects, what does the new fitness trend bring?
At first glance it looks like child's play and fun when you look into the classroom and see the people jumping. But there are actually a number of benefits of training.
Is the mini trampoline workout suitable for losing weight?
According to NASA, sweating on the mini trampoline is up to 68 percent more effective in terms of calorie consumption than jogging. A 20-minute mini trampoline workout is the equivalent of a full oneJog for an hour. After just 5 minutes you start to sweat, you are out of breath and your heart rate increases. In addition, the fun factor is great and course participants report that it doesn't even feel like real training.
Benefits for bones and joints
By bringing the body into the air together with the subsequent soft landing, the joints are relieved and protected and the bones are strengthened at the same time. Building bone density is a valuable preventive measureagainst osteoporosis. Especially if you perform a predominantly sedentary activity, you will notice that jumping on the trampoline takes the strain off your spine and makes you feel relief. Training on the device supports the cardio-lymphatic circulation, which leads to a strengthening of the heart and better removal of toxins and waste products.
Improving movement control
With the mini trampoline you can improve your balance, coordination and motor skills. This means that you can use the device to increase your body control. This then means that you can better control your body movements and, for example, make your gait appear more elegant.
Which muscles are trained during a trampoline workout?
You train the middle of your body, the core, which gives you strength and melts one or two pockets of fat. Also your spine,the leg musclesand train your buttocks too. But that's not all, because the arms and neck are also trained.
Fun factor in training
Because the trainees don't even perceive the training as such, it is not quite as difficult as the daily jogging session. The barriers are lower and you don't have to struggle every time, but rather just get started.
Trampoline workout: sample exercises with the device to try out
Jumping Jacks
- To do the jumping jacks, stand on the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart. The knees are slightly bent, in technical jargon this is also called soft knee.
- Start the exercise by jumping outwards with both legs and raising your arms at the same time.
- In the next jump, bring your feet together next to each other and your arms down to the sides of your body. And all over again.
Twisting
- This exercise relieves the strain on your spine and is fun. You stand on the device with your feet next to each other, hip-width apart.
- Jump your feet to the right so that both toes point forward and right and at the same time your upper body points forward-left. Form a solid unit with your torso, shoulders, head, and arms and keep your arms bent next to your body. Your hands point to the left, as does your gaze. So always in the opposite direction to where the toes are pointing.
- In the next movement, jump with your feet to the left and your upper body and gaze to the right, always alternating. As you can see, this trains coordination, balance and motor skills.
Side-to-Side Jump
- The side-to-side jump is a final jump to the side. You stand on the center-left side of the device with both feet close together.
- Now jump to the right with both feet at the same time.
- Then again to the left, to the right, to the left and so on.
Run in place
- A good warm-up exercise is running in place on the mini trampoline. Stand in the middle of the device and just start walking. You notice how light as a feather you feel and how good it is for your spine.
Verse run
- From running in place you move on to running in verse. This is done by bringing your verses up to your buttocks while running.
We hope you enjoy your mini trampoline workout and would like to point out that you should adhere to any safety regulations. We recommend caution and education, especially if there are children in the household, as the device can easily be perceived by children as a toy and there is a risk of accidents if handled improperly.
