Top 10 Benefits of “Jumping into a Trampoline Fitness” Program
1. Jumping on Trampolines is Fun
Regardless of how old you are, jumping on a trampoline brings out the kid in everyone. Bouncing
down onto a springy surface and then flying back up in the air into a state of weightlessness is simply
exhilarating. Combine that feeling with practicing sports such as basketball, cheerleading, football,
dodge ball, gymnastics, karate and skiing make many new movements and flying feats possible.
2. Jumping on Trampolines Exercises the Largest Muscles in the Body
And while jumpers are actively enjoying themselves, they unknowingly are working out the largest
muscle groups in the body, which include the Gluteus (butt), Quadriceps (quads), Hamstrings, Calves,
Tibialis and many other upper body muscle groups including the 43 facial muscles that people use to
make a smile. :o)
3. Jumping on a Trampoline is Easier and More Effective than Running/Jogging
Per a well-documented NASA research study, jumping on a trampoline for just 10 minutes a day is
equivalent to running for 30 minutes. This means that kids and adults can achieve the same results as
running or jogging in 1/3 of the time without the jarring effects of running on a hardened surface.
4. Jumping on Trampolines is One of Easiest Ways to Lose Weight
What sounds like a better goal? Running 3 miles or jumping on a trampoline for an hour? As pointed
out above, working out large muscle groups by bouncing on a soft surface is an extremely effective
process. Do it early in the morning and those muscle groups will not only burn calories during the
exercise period, but continue to burn calories all day long as the muscles tear down and rebuild cells
into stronger, more toned and healthy muscles that are rock solid.
5. Jumping on Trampolines Elevates Mood, Boosts Self-Esteem and Induces Sleep
The side benefit of working out for an hour or more per day jumping on a trampoline is that it helps the
body produce natural endorphins, which reduce stress, ward off anxiety and feelings of depression,
boost self-esteem and improve a person’s ability to enjoy a good night sleep.
6. Jumping on Trampolines Speeds Up the Body’s Lymphatic Cleansing Process
On the downward bounce gravity causes the body’s muscles and cells contract and squeeze fluids to
flow at faster than normal rate. On the upward apex of a jump, a special group of lymphatic cells
charged with cleansing the body of toxins, bacteria and waste from blood and fluid open up and
capture waste materials flowing through the blood stream. Pure and simple, the up and down motion of
jumping on a trampoline is an extremely effective process of helping the body cleanse itself.
7. Jumping on Trampolines is Great for the Cardiovascular System
Aside from the other benefits mentioned above, cardio is one of the most important things a person can
do to tone up their body. Jumping on a trampoline helps people lose weight, burn fat, and improve
their overall health. Anything that gets people’s heart into an expedited rhythm on a daily basis will
prolong life and improve their overall health.
8. Jumping on Trampolines Strengthens Joints, Ligaments and Bone Density
In addition to muscle groups, jumping on trampolines strengthens joints, ligaments and adds density to
bones and is a great way to fight Osteoporosis. It’s a great activity to strengthen and help prevent
future injuries to the ankles, knees, hips and the spine.
9. Jumping on Trampolines Improves Development of Motor Skills
Jumping on a trampoline requires a lot of balance and concentration because it requires the brain to
function bilaterally when a jumper is in the air. This means that both sides of the brain and both sides
of the body must work in unison to maintain coordination and balance when bouncing on a trampoline,
which increases and improves motor skills across all sports related activities.
10. Jumping on Trampolines Increases Lung Capacity and Oxygen Intake
The up and down motion of bouncing employs the effects of gravity, stretching and strengthening the
intercostal muscles located between the ribs, which leads to greater lung expansion. Better lung
capacity effectively allows the body to absorb more oxygen into the lungs and allows the heart to
become more efficient removing carbon dioxide and other detrimental agents in the body.
