Bounce Your Way To A Firm Bum And Abs
Who wouldn’t be a fan of trampoline workouts? They’re tremendous fun, bouncing around like a kangaroo with the hiccups while getting a great CV work-out at the same time. Classes on Trampettes, mini trampolines, have been popular both in gyms and with people working out at home for a few years now but now there’s been a revolution!
Skyzone is a new facility which is growing in popularity among trampoline clubs in America so it’s only a matter of time before they become well known in the UK. At Skyzone dozens of individual 10 or 12ft trampolines are tied together with padding in between. You have different zones, for example there’s a cardiovascular and fat burning area where just jogging on the spot gets exhausting very quickly but running from tramp to tramp straight into a wall which, as luck would have it, is a tramp as well is phenomenal!
If you’re just beginning with trampolineing as an workout programme start out with jogging and then move on to standing jumps. These are clearly the most basic of all the moves so once you’ve mastered that and you’reconfident that you have control then move along to seated jumps; jumps where you simply land on your rear and then stand again. Once you begin exercising on the trampoline you’ll notice that because you’re working against its tension you’ll burn off up to 30% more energy than you would in a regular gym class.
Cardiolates offer a regime for the home where you can use an 8ft trampoline or mini tramp. Cardiolates puts together Pilates with the trampoline. They say that your body is under double the gravity at the bottom of the jump than normal which requires your body to work harder while the trampoline itself absorbs about 87% of the force of the impact making it much easier on the joints. If you’re getting over a sports injury this makes it an excellent way to keep on with your exercise regimen and have fun at teh same time.
