There are some epic discounts on mini trampolines in Amazon's Spring Sale RN
Mini trampolines are officially cool, friends. That's right, our exercise routines are – quite literally – on the up (and down again). Eva Longoria often shares clips of herself enjoying a bounce, while Kate Beckinsale has been known to love it and Cindy Crawford's apparently been doing it for decades – even Gwynnie's Goop is in on the fitness trampoline action. Don't worry though – we're not veering into jade egg or psychic vampire repellent territory here.
Instead, we've rounded up the expert opinion on why you should consider adding an exercise trampoline to your home gym equipment, and which fitness trampoline option may be best for you.
Is jumping on a mini trampoline good exercise?
Mini trampoline workouts ('rebounding' to those in the know) can offer an excellent full-body fitness session. They'll target your lower back, quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves and core, while also getting your heart rate climbing and blood pumping for a cardiovascular exercise challenge.
‘[Rebounding] uses significant amounts of oxygen at the muscular level, engages large muscle groups, and can be sustained continuously,' Steve Farrell, PhD, a senior investigator at the Cooper Institute and a fellow with the American College of Sports Medicine told WH.
Calorie burn isn't the be-all and end-all in workouts (far from it), but here's an interesting comparison: trampoline workouts can burn as many calories per minute as running at a pace of 10 minutes per mile, according to a study by the American Council of Exercise.
What are the fitness benefits of a mini trampoline workout?
The real drawcard here, especially for those with injuries (or downstairs neighbours), is that a mini trampoline for adults absorbs the impact of your body’s movement against the surface.
‘On a harder surface, that impact would travel up your legs,’ says Dr Farrell. This means all of the cardio endorphins, with none of the shin splints or knee pain.
According to ((BOUNCE)) founder and trainer Kimberlee Perry, the trampoline mat absorbs over 80% of the impact on landing. ‘It’s also really beneficial internally, helping to build bone density and improve lymph flow which flushes the body of viruses, toxins, bacteria, waste and dead cells,' she says.
PT and founder of Workshop Gymnasium, Lee Mullins also points out that trampolines can be particularly beneficial 'in a rehab setting following a lower body injury, to help improve balance, spacial awareness, foot strength and calf strength in the early stages.'
On top of that trampolining can help to:
Improve cardiovascular fitness
Improve coordination and balance
Improve body composition
Lower blood pressure
Improve lower body strength
Build better bone health
Can mini trampoline workouts help you lose weight?
If that's your goal, yes – provided you're maintaining a healthy diet and monitoring your daily energy expenditure.
A 2018 study put a group of overweight Italian women on a 12-week rebounding programme that saw ‘significant improvements' in body composition – decreased waist circumferences, decreased fat mass, and increased lean and muscular mass.
